Easy Pizza Dough

  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water (between 100 and 110 degrees -a candy thermometer can help determine the correct temperature)
  • 1 package of dry yeast or 1-1/8 teaspoon
  • 1 cup of flour – plus extra for kneading the dough
  • 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Pour 1/4 cup of water in a bowl, add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Let the mixture sit until it bubbles and becomes frothy, about 10 minutes.

Making the dough

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and the salt. Add yeast, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the remaining water. Mix well. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Form pizza dough into a ball. Place ball on work surface and knead until smooth and elastic approximately 10 minutes. Bubbles should start to appear under the surface of the dough. Place the dough in a bowl that has been greased with olive oil. Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour.

When the dough has doubled in size punch down the dough to release the air. Roll out the dough on floured surface and roll to size of the pan you are using. Grease the pan with olive oil. Stretch the dough to fit and pinch to form an edge.
