Recipe Notes
You can make a good pizza dough in a few very easy steps. Measurements are key! Nervous about making your own dough? Your local pizza shop may sell pre-made dough balls.
Ingredients:
6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups warm water (77° to 81°f)
4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup salt
Directions:
- Let the yeast dissolve in the warm water for about 5 minutes.
- Combine the flour and salt and dump the mixture onto a flat surface. Make a depression in the middle, pour the yeast and water into it, and combine the dry and wet ingredients by hand until the dough starts to come together. Keep working the dough with the palms of your hands for 7 to 8 minutes, and then let it rest at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it doubles in size. Now punch it down, squeezing out all the air bubbles. Cut the dough into four equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place them in the fridge for another 2 hours.
- For each pizza, dust your table and the top of a dough ball with flour. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Use the tips of your fingers to stretch it outward to a 10-inch circle, with the edges thicker than the center. Leftover dough (kept in ball form) will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
Yields 1 Serving.
