Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ cup Warm water; (110 to 115 degrees f.) plus additional tablespoon if necessar
1 pack (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast ; (2-1/2 teaspoons)
2 cups All-purpose flour
1½ teaspoon Salt

Directions

In a large bowl stir together water and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and salt and blend until mixture forms a dough, adding additional tablespoon of water if too dry. On a lightly floured surface knead dough about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

(Alternatively, dough may be made in a standing electric mixer. In bowl of mixer make dough as described above. With dough hook knead dough about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.) Put dough in a very lightly oiled deep bowl, turning to coat and let rise, covered loosely, in a warm place 1-½ hours, or until doubled in bulk.

Punch down dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Dough keeps, each piece put in a small, sealable plastic bag and sealed, pressing out excess air, chilled overnight or frozen 2 weeks. If dough is frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator before using. Makes enough dough for four 12 by 6-inch oval pizzas.
