PIZZA DOUGH

Use store bought pizza dough (thawed) or make your own pizza dough. Spread dou- gh on a floured surface and shape into 12” rounds. Place round on wooden pizza peel and build pizza with desired ingredients.

BASIC PIZZA DOUGH

1 Tbsp white sugar

1 cup warm water (110 to 115°F)

1 envelope dry yeast (1/4 ounce)

3 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1/4 cup olive oil

In large bowl, sprinkle envelope of dry yeast over the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in salt and olive oil. Add flour and mix together until flour is the consi- stency of an elastic ball (about 5 minutes). If desired, add another cup of flour to make a softer dough. Dough should form moist, but not wet, ball.

Place dough in a large covered bowl and let rise at room temperature (65 to 75°F) for 4 to 6 hours. Dough may be made the day before use and kept in the refrigeator, but make sure dough is at room temperature before shaping.
