Yep, you read that right! NO RISE TIME!! Which takes any guess-work you might have when baking with yeast OUT of the equation!
But WHY Doesn’t the Dough Have To Rise?
Well, first let’s talk about the yeast we’re using in this recipe. It’s Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast and quick or instant yeast, like the RapidRise® is milled into finer particles which allows it to dissolve faster! This is why you don’t have to “bloom” the yeast in water before adding it into your dry ingredients! Pretty cool, right? And I will say, you CAN allow your dough to rise, you just don’t have to! If you allow this dough to rise for 30-60 minutes you will need to punch it down before rolling… so see? What’s the point? I mean, think about it…you want your pizza crust to be chewy, and slightly “airy”, but you don’t want it to be like bread. AND you’re rolling, or pressing the dough flat, and spreading it with sauce, cheese, and toppings. You don’t NEED it to rise up that much. The short, 10 minute, rest time gives the gluten time to relax, develops the yeast flavor quickly (another benefit of RapidRise® Yeast) and allows for it to rise slightly. It’s pretty genius! AND it makes it the perfect pizza recipe to prepare with your kids help. Homemade Pizza Night is a fun tradition, and making pizza from scratch, dough included, just gives you even more of a sense of accomplishment!
