Instructions
TO MAKE YOUR PIZZA DOUGH
- In your stand mixer, combine your flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- While the stand mixer it mixing, pour in your water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Mix until a dough has formed—about 2 minutes.
- Lightly dust a clean surface (like your counter) with your flour.
- Place your dough on your counter and use your hands to work it into a ball (no need to overwork it here)
- Use your remaining olive oil to coat your mixing bowl.
- Place your dough ball in the middle of the bowl. Cover the top of your bowl with your plastic wrap.
- Store your dough in a warm dark place for 1 hour. If you have an oven like mine that has a “proof” setting, use that!
- Lightly dust your clean surface with flour again.
- Place your dough on the floured surface and cover it with your hand towel. Let it rest for 5 minutes. If you’re trying to make two small personal pizzas, or lots of pizza bites, cut your dough into the appropriate amount of pieces before covering it to let it rest.
- Use your fingers to press the dough into discs (or shape of your choosing).
