Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Flour
• 1 tbsp Yeast
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 9 fl oz Warm Water

Instructions:

To make it in a  stand mixer:

1. Place flour in the bowl for your mixer and make a well in the flour
2. Fill well with the yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil and water.
3. Attach the dough hook to your mixer and turn mixer on low until all ingredients are combined (about 3 minutes)
4. Turn mixer to medium speed and knead for 5–10 minutes or until a smooth ball forms.
   
   

To make it by hand:

1. Place flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
2. Add yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil and water and stir until combined (you may need to use your hands and not a spoon to get everything mixed together)
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–10 minutes or until a smooth ball forms.

Once you have the dough ball made:

1. Place dough ball into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean dry cloth.
2. Place bowl in a warm place away from any drafts until the dough has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
3. Turn dough out on a floured surface and punch down the dough to remove excess air.
4. Divide dough in to 4 pieces.
5. Roll out each piece (or freeze some for later) and top with pizza sauce and your favorite toppings!
6. Bake at 400 for about 12 – 15 minutes or until edges are browned and bottom is fully cooked.

Enjoy!
