Ingredients

    4.25 C bread flour (all-purpose can be substituted, but will be less crisp & chewy. After my own experiences, get the bread flour!!)
    2.24 tsp (1 envelope) instant or rapid-rise yeast (I used instant)
    1.5 tsp salt
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1.5 C warm water (not hot!! or you'll kill the yeast)

Directions

This recipe is from The America's Test Kitchen's Family Cookbook. It is super yummy!!! Crisp on the outside & chewy inside. Great flavor &, best of all, easy to make!!

Makes 2 lbs dough (enough for 3 12" pizzas)

Prep time - 5 minutes

Total time - 1hr 15 min

In my KitchenAid stand mixer with dough hook attached:

Combined dry ingredients and mixed on low to blend.

Add olive oil & water. Mix on low (once flour was moist, I had it on 2) until a ball of dough forms.

Let rise for 1 hour covered with plastic wrap (I just covered it with a cloth).

Freezes well. I put two doughballs in their own ziplock bags that I had sprayed with Olive Oil (from my Misto), labeled and put in the freezer.

The total recipe makes 9 servings, so three servings per pizza pie. Remember to account for the toppings!
