Pizza Dough

Method

Pizza Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F or 43°C) with the sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour along with the olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

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