Ingredients

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.

Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Use as directed.

    This has become my go to recipe for a good pizza dough. The texture is great, crispy on the outside, light and moist (not dried out on the inside. I've already used it for calzones also!

    This was a very easy recipe. I did not kneed it by hand; I used the arm attachment on the mixer. The dough came out perfectly. I think I will experiment next time and add some garlic to the dough, give it a little kick.
