Ingredientes

4 to 4-½ cups all-purpose flour (pizza flour, or bread flour, 480 to 540 grams)

1 tablespoon sugar (13 grams)

2 teaspoons salt (12 grams)

2-¼ teaspoons Quick Rise Instant yeast (7 grams)

1-½ cups water (354 grams)

3 tablespoons olive oil (39 grams)

Instrucciones

Preheat the oven to 450°F if you plan to bake a pizza (otherwise you can freeze the dough after you make it).

Combine 4 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a mixing bowl and whisk together.

Add the water and olive oil. Mix until blended. If it is too wet, gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. The dough should be slightly sticky.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes (you can also use your stand mixer with a dough hook).

Plase the dough in a greased bowl and let it rest on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes if you use Quick Rise instant or for 60 to 90 minutes if you use standard instant yeast. The dough should almost double in size.

Divide the dough into two balls.

At this point, you can either freeze the dough or prep it for a pizza.

To freeze the dough:

Coat each ball of dough in some olive oil. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap then slide it into a zipper-seal bag.

Squeeze all the air out of the bag then freeze if for up to 3 months.

To Bake the pizza:

Roll the balls of dough into 10 to 12” circles and place them on a sheet of parchment paper (or press them into a greased sheet pan).

Form a rim around the pizza dough by rolling the edges in and pinching.

Spread pizza sauce on the dough and add your desired toppings.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly (a thicker crust will need to bake for 20 to 22 minutes).
