Step-by-step
- Stir yeast and sugar into water, let sit for 8 minutes or so.
- In a bowl (or food processor) mix flour and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture.
- If using food processor, continue running until dough forms a ball, 10-20 seconds.
- By hand, just jump in and mix away.
- If the dough is a little dry (ie: flour left on sides of bowl and you absolutely cant get it mixed) add 1/2 teaspoon water and try until you get it.
- On a floured surface pick up dough and throw it down HARD 8-10 times (really, you cant hurt it, think of your boss...)
- Continue kneading for 2 minutes or so. if dough is a little sticky, dust your finger and counter with flour, but as little as possible).
- That it.
- Either rolls out by hand for an 11" pizza (14" thin or 7" thick).
- Bake at 500F in pre-heated oven for 8-12 minutes, the edges will turn nice golden brown when done.
- Dough will be firm and cripy, not soggy and soft like many other doughs.
When I was first starting out as a home cook, I thought that making pizza dough was going to be a daunting task. But after a few tries, I realized that it's actually quite simple. And the best part is, you can customize the dough to your own liking. If you like a crispy crust, then you can add a little bit more flour. Or, if you prefer a soft and chewy crust, then you can add a little bit more water.
