Pizza dough

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • ¼ oz. packet of active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water.

Mix the yeast with the water and set to one side. Place flour, olive oil, salt and sugar in a bowl and mix. I often also add herbs. For the flour I have used regular flour, bread flour, basically whatever I have. If I do use whole wheat flour I usually mix it half and half with white flour otherwise it is a really tough dough.

Add the yeast to the flour mixture and fold together to form a ball of dough. Cover it and let it rise for a half hour or so. You can let it rise over night too.
