Basic Pizza Dough Recipe - Cooking Index
| 2 1/2 teaspoons | 12ml | Dry yeast - (1 envelope) |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Sugar |
| 3/4 cup | 177ml | Lukewarm water |
| 2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | All-purpose flour |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
| 3 tablespoons | 45ml | Olive oil |
Mix the yeast, sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup flour together in a bowl and let proof for 10 minutes. Mixture should look frothy.
Add remaining flour, salt and olive oil and mix well. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is elastic and smooth. Alternately you can do this with the dough hook in a heavy duty mixer. Dough should feel moist and tender. If it's too stiff, add a bit more water.
Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat it evenly. Cover and let rise in a warm spot in kitchen (at least 75 degrees) for 1 to 2 hours.
This recipe yields dough for 1 large rectangular pizza.
