Pizza Dough Recipe

Pizza Dough

4 c all purpose flour (white)
1 ¼ c lukewarm water
1 packet active dry yeast or 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
¼ c milk
Using mixing bowl add the flour and make a “well”, add 1 tsp salt and mix.
In liquid measuring cup add 1 tsp sugar to 1 ¼ cup lukewarm water stir then add yeast, stir and
set aside for 5 minutes to foam up.
Next mix the yeast water and ¼ c milk with 2 tbsp olive oil into the flour salt mixture. Stir with
wooden spoon or clean hands.
Knead the dough for 8 minutes on a floured surface until you have a smooth elastic rubbery
dough ball.
Set aside in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil to keep dough from drying out. Let sit covered lightly
for 30 – 60 minutes or until doubled.
This mix makes enough dough for 2 medium/large pizzas.
The dough can be used immediately or chilled overnight or even frozen. Bake at 500 degrees
for 11 minutes.
Best if baked on a pizza screen and pizza stone. The crust will not be as crispy if baked directly
on a pizza pan.
