MAKING PIZZA DOUGH IN YOUR INSTANT POT IS THE PERFECT WEEKEND COOKING PROJECT

Steps:

• In a small measuring cup, combine ¾ cup warm water (between 105° and 115°F), 1 packet instant yeast, and 1½ teaspoons sugar or honey to activate the yeast. It's ready when it begins to bubble and foam after a few minutes. (If it doesn't bubble, the yeast may be dead. Start over with a new packet.)
• Once your yeast has bloomed, combine with flour, salt, and olive oil in a food processor or stand mixer (using the dough hook), or stir manually in a large bowl, until it becomes cohesive and pulls away from the walls.
• Gather your dough, and then knead and form it into a ball. Spray your Instant Pot bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the center. Set the Instant Pot to the "normal yogurt" setting, ensure the venting valve is "sealed", and proof for 30 minutes.
• Remove dough from the Instant Pot and use a rolling pin or shape by hand to your desired crust size.
• Once shaped, use a fork to pierce the dough several times to allow ventilation, and then coat with sauce and finish with toppings.
• Bake pizza in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes on a pizza stone or pan (or even the back of a cookie sheet) until golden brown.

INSTANT POT PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place a trivet in the inner pot of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
• Spray a 7-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface; roll or stretch it gently until it is approximately 7 1/2 inches by about 15 inches. Place the baking pan upside-down on one end of the dough and use a sharp knife to cut around it. You will have enough left for a second pizza; roll the leftover dough up and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Skip this step if you are using mini prebaked crusts.
• Fit the circle of dough in the pan and press a bit up the sides to form a crust.
• Spoon the pizza sauce over the dough.
• Top the pizza sauce with the shredded mozzarella cheese, then layer with pepperoni slices and some sliced ripe olives.
• Fold a 24-inch length of foil lengthwise into thirds. Place the folded foil on the countertop and place the pan in the center. Cover the pan tightly with another sheet of foil.
• Using the ends of the foil as handles, lower the pan into the Instant Pot.
• Secure the lid and turn the steam release knob to the sealing position. Choose the pressure cook or manual button (high pressure) and set the timer for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, follow the manufacturer's instructions for a quick release. Remove the pan and discard the foil.
• Use a flexible spatula to remove the pizza to a cutting board. Cut the pizza into four wedges or smaller appetizer-sized pieces and serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
