Ingredients
- 3 cups Flour I suggest using 00 flour
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 cup Water Warm
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- 1 tbs Salt
- 2.25 tsp Dry Yeast 1 Package
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients
- Stir together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes while it foams.
- While slowly mixing, add salt and olive oil.
- Slowly add the flour. With each addition, wait for it to be mixed before adding a little more. Continue until all flour is added.
- Add a little water if your dough appears dry (just a little water goes a long way – be careful)
- After it is well mixed, form a ball with the dough.
- Stick in a covered container in a warm (not hot) place for it to rise. In this case, it was a beautiful day outside, so I placed it on the deck and gave it an hour.
- After an hour or two, the dough is ready for your to shape! Be sure you're doing this on a very well floured surface. Parchment paper isn't a bad idea either.
- Maybe grab a helper…..
- Or 2 helpers!!!!
- You want to get this dough stretched thin and smooth
- You'll know when your crust is ready. 😉 Note how I rolled up the edges on two of these to form an outer crust. I haven't gotten wild enough to stuff that crust with cheese, but the day is coming soon. 😉
Notes
- This recipe makes quite a bit of dough (I made 3 medium pizzas from it). Adjust quantities as needed.
- I used an electric mixer here, but you certainly could knead the dough by hand if you wanted. Wouldn’t be a bad way to burn some calories before you indulge with the goodness you’re creating. 😉
