Pizza dough
Ingredients
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 2 cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
I put some oregano and asiago cheese in the dough. Sun-dried Tomato is also good.
Directions
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
3. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Add flour bit by bit kneading lightly to get a workable consistency. Form dough into a round, split in half and roll out into 2 pizza crust shapes. Cover with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
I bake pizza on a stone for ten minutes and then add cheese, baking for another 10 or until browning. If using a grill heat that bitch up!
or
Drizzle with oil and bake 4-5 minutes then add all ingredients and bake until browned.
