Perfect Pizza Dough image

I've tried many pizza dough recipes over the years but come back to this one every time...I got it from a "Purity" cookbook back in 1977 as a newlywed, during my "first" grocery shopping expedition and it was the first cookbook I ever bought! This dough has never failed me, in that when ready to pan, it's nice and elastic, never...

1/2 c lukewarm water
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp or 1 pkg yeast
1 1/4 c flour (white or whole wheat)
1/4 c vegetable, olive, or canola oil
1 1/4 c flour again
1 tsp salt
1/2 c lukewarm water again

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve the sugar in the first 1/2 cup of lukewarm water and sprinkle yeast over. (don't stir) Let stand 10 minutes until foamy. Stir vigorously with a fork.
  • 2. Add the other half cup of lukewarm water, salt, oil and first 1 1/4 c flour.
  • 3. Add the rest of the flour gradually until a soft dough forms. Knead for about five minutes, place in a large bowl sprayed with a little Pam, cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
