  • Yield: Dough for 2 pizzas 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (instant or fast-rise)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water, about 110 degrees F
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for oiling bowl.

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast,and kosher salt. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and beat until a ball of dough forms. (If dough is too sticky- add more flour as needed. If too dry- add more water as needed.)
  2. Scrape dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently into a smooth ball.
  3. Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Add the dough and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size (1- 1 1/2 hours). Turn risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal portions. Cover each piece of dough with plastic wrap or a tea towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Assemble pizzas and bake on a preheated pizza stone at 450 degrees until done, about 15 minutes or so. Try not to open oven too many times during cooking time.

Notes

Bread dough makes the crust crisp. If you prefer chewier crust, use all-purpose flour.
