Bucket List: Pizza Dough

I have been able to cross off another item on my food bucket list. I never realized that pizza dough from scratch is super easy (trust me it is for those of you who haven’t attempted it). I know you could just as easily unwrap the premade pizza dough and pop it in the oven. But there is something so fulfilling about making your own dough that I don’t think I’ll ever go back…well of course those impromptu meals that I need something quick I might have to.

Ingredients

 

• ▢ 1 3/4 c. warm water
• ▢ 1 envelope of active dry yeast
• ▢ 2 tsp. sugar
• ▢ 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• ▢ 4 c. bread flour; also a little extra
• ▢ 2 tsp. salt
• ▢ Nonstick spray

Instructions

• In small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow yeast to dissolve and let it bloom (get frothy).
• In standing mixer (with paddle attachment) stir together flour and salt.
• Slowly add in water/yeast mixture. As the dough starts to form, switch to dough hook attachment.
• Knead the dough for about 2-4 minutes in the mixer, adding a little more flour if needed (if it is still sticking too much to the bowl).
• Remove the dough to a floured work board. Make sure your hands are floured and continue to knead the dough for another 2 minutes or so.
• Form dough into a round ball and transfer to a bowl that has been fully covered in nonstick spray.
• Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1.5-2 hours in a warm area of your kitchen. It should double in size.
• When ready use rolling pin to form into desired shape of pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Add toppings and Bake at 500 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden.
