Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant dry yeast, and salt to create the dry base of the dough.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the warm milk, plain yogurt, vegetable oil, and egg together until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a rough, shaggy dough begins to form.
Knead Dough: Knead the dough by hand or use a dough hook on medium speed for approximately 6–8 minutes until it becomes soft, smooth, and slightly sticky to the touch.
First Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare for Use: After rising, punch down the dough to release excess air. Divide the dough as needed for your pizza or other recipes.
Use or Store: Use the dough immediately for pizza or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a crispier crust, pre-bake your dough for 5–7 minutes before adding toppings.

Notes

This dough is extremely versatile and works well for flatbreads, breadsticks, or rolls.
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5–7 minutes before adding your toppings and baking fully.
Ensure the milk is warm (around 110°F) to activate the yeast without killing it.
You can substitute plain yogurt with Greek yogurt for added tang and richness.
Store any unused dough tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
