Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour unbleached
1 tsp granulated sugar
½ tsp active dry yeast
¾ tsp kosher salt
7 oz warm water 110F
1 tbsp olive oil
semolina or all-purpose flour for dusting

Instructions

Add the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Add the water and oil and, using a wooden spoon, stir to combine. Continue to stir until a dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 3 minutes, dusting with more flour as needed, until the dough is tacky but doesn’t stick to the work surface.
Lightly grease a large mixing bowl and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm area for 2 hours to proof and rise.
Use in your favorite pizza recipe.

Notes

If you want to add some extra flavor to your pizza dough, try adding some herbs or spices. Or, brush the dough with a little olive oil before topping it with your favorite sauce and toppings.
Another idea is to sprinkle the edges of the crust with seasonings or brush it with garlic butter.
