Description
My home-made pizza dough; I make it 3 to 4 times a week.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- ½ cup lukewarm water
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Stir yeast and sugar into lukewarm water
- using a fork. Let stand in a warm place until a creamy layer forms on top of the water
- about 10 minutes.
- Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix olive oil into flour and stir for 2 minutes. Pour yeast mixture and beaten egg into flour mixture and stir to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until springy and smooth
- about 8 minutes. Place dough into a floured bowl and cover with a piece of plastic wrap wiped with a thin film of olive oil.
- Let dough rise until doubled
- about 1 hour. Punch down and roll out to desired shape.
