The kids love pizza, so we often have pizza nights. The dough is so easy to make and I usually have all ingredients on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water 105 to 110 degrees
  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

  • Gently whisk yeast and warm water together. Set aside until it poofs.
  • Mix flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and yeast water. Mix on lowest speed for 4 minutes. If the dough does not come together within 2 minutes add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it does.

Remove dough and form into 2 balls and place in two separate containers. Allow at least 2 hours to rise, when done rising seal bags and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for 3 months.
