From bagels to cinnamon rolls, our foolproof pizza dough recipe can rise to any occasion.

The Recipe: Pizza-Tastic Dough

In a food processor, pulse 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon instant yeast. With the machine running, drizzle in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water until combined. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Process the mixture until the dough forms a ball; transfer to a lightly oiled large bowl. With lightly oiled hands, knead for 1 minute. Form into a ball; drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil, rub to coat the surface. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least one day or up to three days. Let dough stand at room temperature for one hour before using. Makes 1 (1 1/4-pound) ball.

PIZZA DOUGH THREE EASY WAYS

Skillet Pizza

Brush the bottom and side of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Press and stretch Pizza-Tastic Dough to a 12-inch round; place in skillet. Spread with 1/4 cup marinara sauce; top with 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced, and 1 ounce pepperoni slices. Dollop with 3 tablespoons pesto. Heat skillet on medium-high. Cook 3 minutes or until bottom starts to set. Transfer to a 425 F oven; bake 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve topped with handful of arugula and drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Serves 6.

Spicy Beef Pies

In a 10-inch skillet on medium heat, cook 1 pound ground beef; 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 teaspoon chili powder; and 3/4 teaspoon salt in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 10 minutes, breaking up with spoon. Cool slightly. Divide one ball of Pizza-Tastic Dough into 6 balls; on a large sheet of parchment paper, with floured hands for each, stretch into 6-inch rounds. Fill with 1/3 cup beef mixture, drained. Fold and stretch dough over filling to form a half-moon, pinching to seal tightly. Bake on parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes. Serve with salsa. Makes 6.

“Everything” Bagels

In a large, shallow dish, combine 3 tablespoons each sesame seeds, poppy seeds and dried onion and 1 tablespoon coarse salt. For each bagel, roll 4 ounces of Pizza-tastic Dough into a 10-inch rope, then pinch ends together to form a ring. In a large pot of boiling water, cook dough rings 2 minutes, turning over occasionally. With a slotted spoon, transfer to dish with seed mixture and turn to coat, then place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425 F 25 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve warm or toasted. Makes 5.

Your Kitchen: Cooking Advice

Susan Westmoreland, GH’s resident kitchen pro, shares her best tips.

Q: I need an easy “impress the mother-in-law” Irish soda bread recipe. – Annie B.

A: Flavored with currants and caraway seeds, our take on the St. Paddy’s Day treat  (available at www.goodhousekeeping

.com/food-products/a42756/irish-soda-bread-recipe) is surprisingly simple to pull off! Knead and shape the dough with your hands before cutting an “X” into the top. Legend has it that this traditional cross cut protects your family from evil spirits. Share that tidbit (and this loaf!) with Mom and score some major points.

Q: Is there a way to prep mashed potatoes ahead of time? – Stacy K.

1. Yes – enlist your salad spinner! Just peel potatoes and add to the spinner along with water and sliced lemons, then cover. When it’s time to boil the spuds hours later, pull up on the inner basket, ditch the lemon and add the drained potatoes to boiling water. So easy!
