Ingredients

Servings
4
  • flour (approx. 3 cups)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 packet fast-rising yeast
  • 1 C. water at 120-130F
  • 2 tsp. olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Blend the yeast with two cups of flour and the salt.

  2. 2

    Add the water and the oil and mix to form a dough.

  3. 3

    Add more flour as necessary until you can knead the dough.

  4. 4

    Knead for about 6 minutes (I use my KitchenAid).

  5. 5

    Put the dough in a bowl and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.

  6. 6

    In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400F and prepare your toppings.

  7. 7

    Split the dough into two pieces and roll into two medium size pizzas.

  8. 8

    If you're rolling the dough, ideally you can roll it out on parchment paper, which can go directly into the oven with the pizza.

  9. 9

    After rolling out and preparing your pizza on top of parchment paper, slide the paper (with the pizza on it) onto a large cutting board held level with the counter.

  10. 10

    Then open the oven and gently shake the cutting board so that the pizza and the paper slide right off.
