20. Easy Margherita Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• 1 & 1/2 cups hot water {I just get it as hot as it will come out of the tap}
• 1 & 1/2 tsp. dry active yeast
• 1 Tbsp. white sugar
• 1 Tbsp. light olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. salt
• 3 & 1/2 cups bread flour {or all-purpose flour is fine}

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water and let sit for five minutes until frothy.
2. Add the sugar, olive oil, and salt and mix until dissolved.
3. In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the flour and mix well.
4. Turn out onto a clean countertop and knead for 5 minutes.
5. Place back in bowl and let sit until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
6. Punch dough down and knead again until smooth and elastic. {Use a little bit more flour, if needed, to keep from sticking.}
7. Split dough in half evenly and make into whatever your heart desires
