Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.25 cups Warm water (approximately 110°F or 45°C)
Instructions
In the bowl of your food processor fitted with the dough blade or metal blade, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Pulse the dry ingredients together a few times to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and warm water through the feed tube. Allow the dough to mix for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a sticky ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together. If it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.
Once the dough has formed, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 2-3 minutes to ensure a smooth and elastic texture.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
After rising, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. It is now ready to be rolled out and used for your favorite pizza recipe!
