Pizza D'oh!

Pizza Dough worth remembering.

• 1 Envelope of active yeast
• 1 Tsp sugar
• 1/3 cup lukewarm water

Combine these three ingredients together and let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until the yeast has fully bloomed.

• 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/4 olive oil
• 3 3/4 cups flour

I chose to use whole wheat flour and the recipe came out just fine.

Combine yeast mix, water, oil and salt in a mixing bowl, then add flour slowly.  Knead together to make a soft, but not sticky dough ball, adding more flour if needed.  Depending on your climate/flour, you may need more or less flour.  Sometime flour is more moist or more dry, this is why adding it in slowly is the key, though keeping in mind that you do not want to work the dough too much.  (Over-working the dough causes it to become tough.)

Once your dough is a good consistency, drizzle a little olive oil over it, covering it and the bowl completely, then cover the bowl and set aside, in a warm place, for an hour.

Once the dough has proofed, divide it into four and roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface.
