How To... Make Homemade Pizza Dough

This crust was very yummy. I definitely want to figure out what Domino's does to their crust now and incorporate it. This does take some prep time as the dough needs to sit for a few days. Although I've seen others make and use it in as little as 2 hours. The recipe makes 2 crusts (large enough for a sheet pan), but we actually used it all in one meal. We each like our own pizzas and leftovers!

Ingredients
1 tsp Active Dry Or Instant Yeast
4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1/3 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions
Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.

In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment), drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.

Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you need it.

***It’s best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.

Enjoy!
