Pizza with Friends

Years ago we would have friends over for pizza. We’d make our own with everyone bringing various ingredients. It always made for a good time!

 

 

Basic Pizza Dough

 

makes 1 recipe pizza dough, prep 10 min, rise time 1 hour

 

• 1 pkg active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp loose yeast)
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 3/4 cup flour

 

1. Combine yeast and warm water, stir to dissolve.

 

2. Add oil, salt, and flour. Stir to combine.

 

3. Once dough starts to come together, turn out onto a floured counter and knead to thoroughly combine-until dough is smooth and elastic. If it is uncooperative let it rest for a few minutes and come back to it.

 

4. Place dough ball in a greased bowl and cover loosely. Allow dough to rise until doubled, approximately an hour.
