Perfect Pizza Dough
- 1 package active dry yeast (or 1.25 Tsp)
- 1 c. luke warm water
- 2 c. white flour
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Let stand until frothy, ~10 minutes should be good.
- In a large bowl or Kitchen Aid mixer, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, sugar and the yeast mixture stir well to combine. Knead until a stiff dough has formed. Roll into a ball, cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape. Sprinkle with flour while working the dough. Cover with tomato sauce or pesto and pile on your favorite toppings and cheese. Bake until golden brown, about 20 - 25 minutes.
