Yield Makes two 16-ounce balls of dough; each ball of dough makes 1 cookie-sheet-size pizza

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons instant or other active dry yeast
2 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 cups water, room temperature
Olive oil, for greasing

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the water, and using a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until blended, at least 30 seconds.
  • The dough will be stiff, not wet and sticky. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature until the dough has more than doubled in volume, about 2 hours. Divide the dough in two and shape each section into flattened balls. If you are only making one pizza, freeze the other ball in a freezer storage bag. If you rub a little olive oil on your fingers and on the ball of dough before bagging, it will be less sticky to negotiate.
