Traditional Pizza Dough

Perfect pizza dough recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon active-dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water (be sure it's not hot)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (you may need a bit more)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Instructions:

• Start by mixing the yeast and warm water in a large bowl. Let stand for about 5 mins, it will get a bit foamy
• Stir in the flour and salt with a spatula until you've started to form a ball. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. You can also use your dough hook attachment on your stand mixer. You should be left with a ball that springs back when you press it.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel, allow to rise for about an hour.  Roll out on a floured surface and add your favourite toppings. Bake at 450 F until it reaches desired crispiness, or grill on the BBQ!
• This will make 2 x 10-inch pizzas.

Chef's Tip: For a crispier crust, substitute bread flour for the all-purpose.
