The Best Pizza Dough Recipe

Cooking Time - 20 Minutes
Skill Level - Easy
Serves - Family of 4+ 

Ingredients:
2 cups warm water

1.5 Tablespoons Yeast

1 Tablespoon Sugar

~ Mix these 3 ingredients together and let the yeast foam up. Takes about 5 mins. Add 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil  

5 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour

1.5 Teaspoons Salt

Steps: 
1. Mix 2 dry ingredients together. 

2. Add the yeast/oil mixture. Mix with a fork as much as possible. Then knead with hands for 5 mins until all is incorporated and in a large ball. Rub the whole dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place in a bowl.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and cover with a towel. Place in a warm spot for 2 hours to rise.

4. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Chop up one of our grass-fed pepperoni sausages into pieces. Also, we like to add olives, pineapple, onion and peppers. This is where you can add what you like to your pie. 

5. When you're ready to put your pizza together you don't need to flour your dough or roll it out. Just use your hands and flatten the dough onto any baking sheet. We love pizza night as a family. I always give each one of my kids their own little piece of dough to make their own individual pizza.

6. I like to spray the pan first with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Prick the dough a few times with a fork.

7. Add your pizza sauce, pepperoni and veggie toppings. Bake in the oven for 15 mins. Remove from the oven and add your cheese. Continue to cook for 5-7 mins until cheese is melted and browned.

8. Remove from oven and let cool for 3 mins before slicing. 

9. Enjoy!
