Ingredients

  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing bowl, dough ball and crust
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups all- purpose flour, plus more for dusting your work surface
  • 1 cup slightly warm water

Method

  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, pour the warm water in and sprinkle with yeast.
  • Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • *Do not use hot water or it will kill the yeast and your dough will not rise.
  • Add the sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour and mix until a dough ball forms.
  • You may want to transfer to a floured work surface and knead by hand until a smooth ball comes together.
  • Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and brush top with oil.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm area for about an hour.
  • The dough should double in size.
  • Cut the dough in half.
  • Place both pieces on a floured work surface and gently knead.
  • You can roll one piece out now into a 12- inch round.
  • To cook now, top with your favorite toppings.
  • Brush the exposed dough with olive oil and place in a 450 degree oven on a pizza stone (if you have one) for 12 to 15 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
  • To freeze the second piece, wrap the dough in plastic and place it in a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months.
