Step 1

Stir the yeast into the warm water and let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir the remaining water into the creamy yeast mixture, and then stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time. If mixing by hand, stir with a wooden spoon for 3 to 
4 minutes. If mixing with a stand mixer, beat with the paddle at the lowest speed for 2 minutes. If mixing with a food processor, mix just until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at cool room temperature for 24 hours, until the dough is triple its original volume but is still wet and sticky.

Step 4

If using right away, divide the dough into two sections by cutting it in half with a knife.

Step 5

On a well floured surface, roll your dough out to desired size. Alternatively, you can skip the rolling and gently hand stretch your pizza dough to desired size.

Step 6

Add your toppings and bake based on your desired pizza recipe
