Olive Oil Pizza Dough

This dough recipe has been in steady rotation around here.
It’s easy, flexible, and perfect for one person or a whole family.
My niece makes it every Friday night—it’s their little tradition now.

Ingredients

• 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ tsp instant yeast
• ¾ tsp salt
• ¾ tsp sugar
• 1½ cups water
• ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Recommend Garlic EVOO, Basil EVOO, Tuscan Herb EVOO, Pesto EVOO

 Directions

1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
2. Make a well in the middle and pour in the water and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough emerges. As always when making dough, add more liquid if dry and more flour if wet until you achieve the desired consistency.
4. Let rise for an hour or until double in size. Punch down and cut into the appropriate sizes for the pizza you are making.
5. Brush the spread out dough with extra virgin olive oil.
6. Now it is ready for your sauce and toppings!
