Pizza Dough
Ingredients
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour, plus more for rolling (Chef's Note:
Using bread flour will give you a much crisper crust. If you
can't find bread flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose
flour which will give you a chewier crust.)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope instant dry yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups water, 110 degrees F
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons
Directions
Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the
bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running,
add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the
dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional
flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in
a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1
tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured
surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil,
add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a
warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough
out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal
pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap
and let them rest for 10 minutes.
