  • Yield: 4 10 inch pizzas 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 packet dry active yeast
  2. 1 3/4 cups warm water (technically 105 degrees works best)
  3. 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  4. 2 teaspoons salt
  5. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  6. 3 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Pour water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast on top and let dissolve, between 2-5 minutes
  2. Add flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil and mix together with your hands to form a dough
  3. Kneed softly in the bowl or on a floured surface until it becomes smooth
  4. Form dough into a log shape that will be easy to cut into fourths
  5. Cut dough into four equal balls and put the individual balls in large ziplock bags
  6. Put the dough in the fridge and let rise for 12-24 hours (or freeze and they will keep for a couple months)
  7. Take dough out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature by sitting out for about 30 minutes
  8. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with wax paper
  9. Pretty heavily flour the wax sheet (you don't want the dough to stick to anything so flour that baby up)
  10. Form your dough into a pizza shape buy gently pulling the dough into a circle shape. Once you have a good circle shape start holding the dough up in the air by the edges and let the dough stretch its self out. Once it gets bigger you can use your fists to stretch it by rolling them underneather the dough.
  11. Once its reached a good size flour the bottom and place on the baking sheet
  12. Brush the dough with olive oil and load it up with whatever sauce and topping combo you want and bake 15-20 minutes
