Ingredients
- 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
Blend the yeast with two cups of flour and the salt.
- 2
Add the water and the oil and mix to form a dough.
- 3
Add more flour as necessary until you can knead the dough.
- 4
Knead for about 6 minutes (I use my KitchenAid).
- 5
Put the dough in a bowl and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
- 6
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400F and prepare your toppings.
- 7
Split the dough into two pieces and roll into two medium size pizzas.
- 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
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
Then open the oven and gently shake the cutting board so that the pizza and the paper slide right off.
