Sean's Pizza Dough


Ingredients

Ingredient Qty.   Unit
warm water 1   c
packet of active dry yeast 1   ea
sugar 1   tsp
olive oil 1   TBSP
salt 1/2   tsp
flour 3   c


Instructions

1) Mix water, yeast, sugar and oil.

2) Stir in salt and one cup of flour.

3) Begin kneading with dough hook attachment of a stand mixer.

4) Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time (usually about 2 1/2 to 3 cups total) until the dough comes together as a slightly sticky dough. Continue kneading for 10 minutes.

5) Take a small gob of dough, roll it into a ball and gradually stretch it. If the center forms a thin, transluscent membrane without tearing the dough has been kneaded enough. If not, continue kneading ... you will not over-knead the dough.

6) Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towl and let rise on the counter until it doubles (about 1/2 hour).

7) Ready to use for pizza, stromboli, calzones, etc.

8) Note: We think this is most delicious made with 1/2 cup of whole wheat pastry flour (all purpose flour for the rest of the flour needed.)

9)


Yield: 2 12-14 inch pizzas worth of dough
