Yield

Makes 1 large pizza

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water (100ºF/38ºC)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 pkg instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • All-purpose flour, optional*

Directions

  1. Combine warm water and sugar, stirring to dissolve. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir yeast mixture. Drizzle in oil and stir to combine.
  3. Place 1 3/4 cups flour and salt in a food processor fitted with a dough blade; process to combine.
  4. Add yeast mixture and process just until dough comes together and forms a ball, about 1 minute. Dough will be soft.
  5. If dough is too sticky, add additional flour, 1 tbsp at a time, and process until dough comes together and forms a ball.
  6. Using greased hands, shape dough into a ball. Dough may be prepared to this point and frozen in an airtight container.
  7. If frozen, thaw dough in refrigerator before proceeding. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl; turn dough to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap.
  8. Let stand for 5 minutes if fresh and 15 minutes if thawed from frozen before rolling out.
