Homemade Pizza Dough
Once you make your own, you will never buy store-bought pizza dough again!
Servings: 1 (14-inch) pizza crust
Ingredients
- 1 pkt. (2 1/4 tsp.) active dry yeast
- 3/4 c. plus 2 T. warm water (110-115°) divided
- 2 c. unbleached bread flour divided
- 2 T. olive oil plus more for oiling bowl
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast, 1/4 cup warm water and 1/4 cup flour. Let it stand for 30 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water, olive oil and salt. Mix the dough thoroughly.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, elastic, and a bit tacky to the touch, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Once risen, roll dough out into one 14-inch circle or divide into 2 individual portions.
Notes
Alternatively, you can let this dough rise in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, bring the dough to room temperature and proceed.
