Masa de pizza

Ingredientes

• 1 1/3 cups warm water
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 pkg active dry yeast (1/4oz or 2 1/4 tsp)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 3/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsps salt

Preparación

1. 1

   Whisk the sugar into the warm water; it should be almost too hot to the touch, or about 105 degrees. (Too hot and you kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast won't activate.)

2. 2

   Sprinkle the yeast on top and set aside until foamy (about 10 minutes).

3. 3

   Stir in the olive oil. Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.

5. 5

   Gradually stir with a wooden spoon to make a rough dough.

6. 6

   Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. (You can turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, but I generally just knead inside the bowl.)

7. 7

   Knead about 5 minutes, dusting with more flour as needed.

8. 8

   Form into two balls and place inside of individual bowls coated with olive oil.

9. 9

   Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled in size.

10. 10

    Roll out and top as desired.
