- 1 cup water heated to 110°-115° degrees, from the kitchen faucet
- 1 envelope dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped use more, less, or no garlic, to your taste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
Instructions
Mix
- Place warm water (hot from the kitchen faucet works fine) in a mixing bowl and add the yeast, olive oil, garlic, salt and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Add Flour
- Once the yeast has started to bubble, add three cups of flour and mix using a bread hook or a sturdy spoon, until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Add a little more flour if needed to create a firm dough.
Knead
- Sprinkled a little flour on a cutting board or piece of parchment paper and place dough on top. Knead for 20 seconds.
Rising Time
- Spray the same bowl you used to mix the dough with Pam or coat with shortening. Return the mound of dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Place the bowl in a warm spot and allow the dough to rise for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes place the dough on your pizza pan and add the toppings. Bake at 425° for about 15 minutes.
