Homemade Pizza Dough
Directions
- 1In a large glass bowl, add 1 and 1/3 cups of warm water (no more than 115 degrees).
- 2Add 1 packet of yeast (or 2 and 1/4 teaspoons), 1 tablespoon of sugar, and stir.
- 3Add 2 tablespoons of oil and stir.
- 4Add 3 cups of bread flour (or all-purpose) and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- 5Stir until the ingredients start to come together. You can do this by hand if you want.
- 6Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gather it together. Then start to knead the dough for 5-10 minutes by pulling the front and pushing it down on the top.
- 7Once the dough starts to come together, grab the top and push down with the heel of your hand and turn. Repeat for 5-10 minutes.
- 8Spray a bowl with oil, place the dough inside, top down, and swirl it around. Flip the dough.
- 9Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- 10Punch down the dough to release the air.
- 11Cut the dough in half using a knife or bench scraper, and shape into two balls.
- 12Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet or other container. If freezing, wrap each ball tightly in plastic wrap, then a zip lock bag and label.
