The Secret To Perfect Pizza Dough

Step 1

Heat water to between 110 and 115 degrees.

Step 2

Sprinkle 2 1/4 tsps active dry yeast over the water. Then sprinkle 1 tsp of sugar over the yeast. Let it sit until the water has become frothy. If it doesn't froth as pictured above, dump your water and start again.

Step 3

In the bowl of a food processor add three cups all purpose flower and salt. Pulse for a few seconds to evenly distribute the salt.

Step 4

With the food processor running, add the oil. Then add the yeast water combination with the food processor still running until a dough ball forms.

Step 5

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Put the dough ball in and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to double in size, about an hour to an hour and a half.

Step 6

Pull the dough apart to create two dough balls for two pizza crusts.
