Pizza Dough

My Facebook friend Timothy ask for a pizza dough recipe. There are so many ways to make dough but this is my standby basic that is really good pizza dough.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups King Arthur all purpose un bleached flour
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon of sugar…this will help create a crispy crust

Directions:

1. In a bowl put 1.5 cups of warm water about 110 degrees and add one package of active dry yeast.
2. Let this sit for 1 minute and then stir.
3. In either a mixer or in a bowl mix
4. Stir the yeast again and slowly add to the flour mixture If you are using a mixer with a dough hook mix dough until it is fully mixed.
5. If you are mixing by hand mix it in the bowl until the dough is formed.
6. Put the dough on a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until the dough is elastic and smooth
7. You can add more flour if needed but add very little at a time.
8. Put a small amount of olive oil in a bowl and with a paper napkin coat the entire bowl.
9. Put your dough in the bowl and turn it to coat the dough.
10. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
11. This could take up to 2 hours. When you make the pizza make sure to not over work the dough and use a super hot pizza stone.
