Homemade Pizza Dough

Ingredients

  • 1 packet of instant yeast such as Rapid Rise
  • 2-2¼ cups all-purpose 
  • tsp  turbinado sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and extra for bowl drizzle 
  • ¾ cup warm water up to 110 degrees

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the packet of instant yeast, 1 cup of flour, sugar, and salt, then the extra virgin olive oil and warm water. Using a spatula, stir well to combine the ingredients.
  • Gradually add another 1 cup of flour. The dough should begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl and form a soft, slightly sticky ball. 
  • If the dough is too sticky, add the additional flour to form a soft dough ball. More flour might be needed. Use your judgment until you have a nice dough ball that is slightly sticky. 
  • In another large bowl, drizzle about one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Place the pizza dough in the bowl and flip to coat both sides with olive oil. Form a ball and cover with plastic wrap. 
  • Let the dough rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size. 
  • After the dough has risen, it can be baked or frozen at this point.
