Basic Pizza Dough

Here’s how to make my pizza dough. It’s simple and you can add to the flour mixture to give it your own flavors!

2.25tsp of active dry yeast

1tsp sugar

1 cup warm water 110 degree

Mix above ingredients and give a quick light stir. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. It will foam up.

3 cups 00 flour

1tbsp salt

2tbsp olive oil

Add these ingredients to the yeast mixture but add the flour slowly. I used my kitchen aid mixer to blend this but you can do it by hand. Once it’s all mixed in, add flour to your counter top and knead the dough until you have a smooth ball of dough.

Coat a bowl with oil and place the ball of the dough in it and cover. Let it sit in a warm area for at least 1 hour. The dough will double in size. Before use, punch it down to remove any air pockets.

I get 2 medium sized pizzas from this recipe. You can add seasoning to the flour to give it your own spin! Enjoy!
