Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the warm water (approximately 110°F/43°C) and olive oil.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form. Ensure all dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes. The dough should become smooth and elastic, springing back when gently pressed.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm area for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
- After resting, divide the dough into two equal portions for making two pizzas.
- On a floured surface, roll out each dough portion into a circular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick, using a rolling pin.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet, add your preferred toppings, and bake according to your pizza recipe's specifications.
Tips
- • Water Temperature Matters: Ensure your water is warm (around 110°F/43°C) to activate the yeast properly without killing it. • Don't Skip Resting: The 10-minute rest is crucial for developing gluten and allowing the yeast to work its magic. • Flour Your Surface: Use a light dusting of flour when kneading and rolling to prevent sticking. • Knead with Confidence: When kneading, use the heel of your hand to push and fold the dough, creating a smooth and elastic texture. • Warm Spot for Rising: Place your dough in a draft-free, warm area to help it rise quickly and evenly. • Versatility is Key: This dough works great for thin-crust or thicker pizzas, so experiment with your preferred style. • Make Ahead Tip: You can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours if you want to prepare it in advance.
