I'm always looking for a great pizza dough. Saturday night we had a family party so we made pizzas together and laid blankets on the floor to eat while watching a movie together.
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
- Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. (I covered mine and set it out in the sun. Didn't take more than 1/2 hour) Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out.
- Oil pan and let it rise for 15-20 minutes. (I didn't do this and it still tasted great).
- Bake in oven at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- Top pizza with favorite toppings
- Bake pizza until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Before baking it I brushed the crust with some butter and garlic powder. It was pretty delicious. And of course it is a fun, family activity!
