Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
3 ½ – 4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 packet instant yeast or 2 ¼ tsp dry yeast
1 ½ c lukewarm water
Method:
In a bowl mix together 3 ½ cups of the flour, the salt, and the sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the oil and water and yeast. Gradually mix in the flour until all is incorporated. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 5-10 minutes, using the rest of the flour if the dough is sticky. Place it into a lightly greased bowl to rise for about an hour.
Cut dough into two equal parts. Flatten and shape each into a roughly 10 inch round, or one large pizza, and top as you like. Bake in a 450 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes
