Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 cups all purpose flour plus more for hands and surface
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Whisk together the sugar, yeast, and water in a large bowl. Let rest about 10 minutes or until foamy.
    Add the olive oil and salt and stir to combine. Next add the flour and mix until the dough just comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes. Oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover and let rise in a warm, draft free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Divide the dough in 1/2. Use the dough to make your favorite pizza right away, or refrigerate. The dough will keep, refrigerated for 1-2 days or 2-3 months in the freezer, stored in an air-tight container. 

Notes

Notes:
This recipe yields enough pizza dough for 2 23-cm (9-inch) thin-crust pizzas or two 20-cm (8-inch) thicker crust pizzas.
If not using all the dough right away it will keep refrigerated for 1-2 days, or  2-3 months in the freezer stored in an air-tight container.
