Best Pizza dough ever!

Pizza dough


This is the best pizza dough EVER!   And so easy to make!

1 1/2 tbs of active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of salt
1  1/2 tbs of sugar
2 cups of warm water

Let this ingredients sit as the yeast rises for 15 min.

Add 1 tbs of olive oil
4 cups of flour with an additional 1/2-1 cups for kneading.

If using a stand mixer using the dough hook, start by turning it on low and slowly increase the speed until you get to medium high, mix for about 10-15 minutes stopping after 5 minutes to check if you need to add a little more water or flour. The dough should be sticky to the touch but not so sticky that your hands come out covered in dough.

If mixing by hand, slowly add the flour a cup at a time, mixing with a spoon.  Once you have mixed in all of the flour kneed by hand for 10-15 minutes.

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl to rise for about 30 minutes. The dough should be twice it's original size, then you punch it in the middle and form it into a ball again. If you are in a hurry you can use it to make pizza now or you can allow it to rise one more time.  Cut the dough in half and form two balls then cut those in half so you have four balls of dough.

Each of these balls is enough for 1 large thin crust pizza. I like to place 2-3 of these in the fridge to use later.
