Pizza Dough

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix water, yeast and sugar and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes

2. 2

   In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all remaining ingredients.

3. 3

   Using the dough hook from the mixer, stir until a loose dough forms. If a dough doesn't form, add the rest of the water. If the dough is extremely wet and sticky, add a pinch of flour.

4. 4

   Attach the dough hook to the mixer and start on a low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium until a ball forms. This should take about 30 seconds. If the dough does not release from the sides of the bowl, add a pinch of flour. If the dough is very dry and floury, add a small amount of water.

5. 5

   Once the dough forms into a ball, allow the mixer to knead for 8 minutes at medium-high.

6. 6

   After the kneading is finished, divide the dough in half. Using floured hands, gently shape each dough into a boule. Set each boule on a floured surface and dab with a little bit of olive oil to keep moist. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
