Ingredients

  • 3- 1/2 cups Bread Flour, Plus More For Kneading
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 envelope (7g Envelope) Instant Dry Yeast (I Use Rapid Rise)
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1- 1/2 cup Warm Water (110 Degrees)
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Plus 2 Teaspoons For Greasing The Bowl

Method

  • Combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a mixer and attach the dough hook and turn it on to let everything combine.
  • Use a spoon if everything needs a little help getting incorporated into each other.
  • While mixing, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and mix until dough forms a ball.
  • Scrape dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth.
  • Form into a smooth ball.
  • Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
  • Add dough, turning once to completely coat in oil.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, a tea towel, or paper towel; place in a warm area and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces; cover each with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Spread dough onto a lightly oiled pizza pan until you get the shape you want.
  • Top with your desired toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, in a preheated 450-degree oven.
