Dough Ingredients

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the bowl with flour and salt. Add the olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Shape the Dough Balls

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

  7. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the dough balls on a floured surface or a baking sheet. Cover them with a cloth and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
