2 C flour
1 Package dry yeast (quick rise or regular)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
In food processor, combine flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Pulse to mix.
In microwave, or small saucepan, heat 3/4 C water and the olive oil to between 125 and 130 degrees. Check with a kitchen thermometer (approx. 30 seconds on High in microwave).
With processor on, gradually pour hot liquid through feed tube. Process for one minute until dough forms a ball.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes minimum – but can go longer for puffier dough. Can be made ahead, stored in plastic bag in refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before using.
Makes 1 1lb of dough, enough for one large pizza.
Add toppings. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 mins.
