Instructions
0 Combine the flour, olive oil, yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup of the water in a heavy duty mixer fitted with the dough hook. 4 Mix on medium speed for 1 minute to combine. Dribble in up to 3 tablespoons additional water if the mixture seems dry. Turn the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. 1 Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, flipping the dough over to coat the top with some oil. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until doubled — this will happen in about 1-2 hours at warm room temperature, which is greater than [wprm-temperature value="70" unit="F"] 2 Gently deflate the dough. Let it rest for a few minutes to relax the tension. Roll out the dough to make one large pizza, or divide in half to shape 2 12-inch pizzas. Note: The dough makes enough to fill a 9"x13"inch quarter sheet pan perfectly. 3 To bake the pizza, preheat the oven to [wprm-temperature value="500" unit="F"](250 C) degrees. Top with pizza sauce or your favorite toppings. Bake about 15 minutes, until the edges are browned. 5 Cool a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!View original recipe
