5. Pizzeria Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 pkg. active dry yeast
- 1 c. warm (not hot) water
- 1 t. sugar
- 1 t. salt
- 2 1/2 c. All-purpose Flour
Instructions
- Pour the warm water into a medium size bowl. Sprinkle the yeast onto the water and allow to stand until it is dissolved and bubbles start to form. Add sugar and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the flour using a wooden spoon. Stir until smooth. Gradually add in the remaining flour or until the dough is smooth, but not too sticky to handle. Knead by hand 5 minutes. (If making the dough in a mixer with a dough hook, just add in enough flour until the dough cleans the side of the bowl. Then let it mix for 6-minutes on medium speed.) Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise about 30-40 minutes.
- Divide the dough half for 2 medium size pizzas (or 4 personal pizzas)or you can divide the dough into fourths and make Calzones!
