Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

All purpose flour: 3.5 cups

Salt: 2 teaspoons

Olive oil: 4 tablespoons

Sugar : 1 teaspoon

Warm water: 1 1/2 cups (110 degrees F) + 4 tablespoons

Instant dry yeast: 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons)

Method:

Take the yeast, sugar and 1.5 cups of warm water and rest it for 15 minutes so the yeast rises.

Take the flour, salt, 2 tablespoons of oil and add the yeast. Knead into a soft dough adding a tablespoon of water as needed.

Grease the bowl with 2 tablespoons of oil and place the dough in it. Put a plastic wrap on top of the bowl and keep it in a warm place for 1.5 hours.

The dough will double the size. Punch it down, make the dough into 2 balls and plastic wrap them for 10 minutes.

Pizza dough is ready to make pizzas or store it in a airtight container and refrigerate.

Note:

If you are living in a hotter place like India, Bluebird is the best yeast and dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water and use rest of the 1 cup of water while kneading the dough. Also, increase the All Purpose Flour to 4 cups.
