Easy Pizza Dough

It has been a while since I write this blog. Yes, I have been cooking and eating - gaining weight and losing weight. Life is good.

Here is a very easy to make pizza dough. I have tried and it worked.

3.5 to 4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope of yeast
2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1.5 cup water at 110F
2.5 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

This is so easy.
1. Mix all your dry ingredients using KitchenAid, dough hook.
2. While mixer is running, add in your water and olive oil both at the same time.

Now go clean up your kitchen, it takes about 10 mins for me.
Come back and check the dough. If it forms a dimple when you press in, it is good.
If too dry, add water. If too wet, add flour. Simple!

Grease a bowl with oil, put your dough in it, cover with Cling wrap, and let it rise to double the size.

Divide into 2 pieces. Each piece makes one pizza crust.

If you are not using it immediately, wrap it and put straight in the freezer. Hear me, freezer! Do not put in the fridge. If you do, the dough will continue rise even though you wrap it tightly with Cling wrap. I once put the dough in the fridge overnight and the next day I was greeted by this overflow dough creature when I open the fridge.

Here you go, pizza dough!
