Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until it begins to come together.
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cups of flour, a little at a time, while kneading the dough. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour, but avoid over-flouring.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it so all sides are coated with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions for two 12-inch pizzas, or keep it whole for one large pizza.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and, if available, place a pizza stone in the oven to heat while you prepare the dough.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness on a floured surface. Transfer it to a pizza peel or an oiled baking sheet, adding your desired toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute or two, slice, and serve. Enjoy your homemade Dyck Family Pizza!
