Cook Time:
12 minutes
Servings:
2 10-inch pizza crusts
Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour, plus ½ cup for kneading
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions
  1. Combine the water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Set aside until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, and olive oil using a dough whisk or wooden spoon.
  3. Add in the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, and mix until well-combined.
  4. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface, adding more all-purpose flour to the top of the dough. Knead well, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is only slightly sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rest in a warm spot for 90 minutes.
  6. After rising 90 minutes, separate the dough in half, and bake with your choice of toppings at 500 F for 12 to 15 minutes.
