Pizza

 I have adapted my pizza dough from Sally's Baking Addiction.

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/3 cup warm water (between 100-110 F)
• 2 and 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (standard packet)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups flour (spoon and leveled)
• Optional: oregano, basil

Instructions:

1. Mix sugar and water. Add yeast and whisk. Cover and let set for 5 minutes. It should get frothy.
2. Mix flour, salt, and olive oil. You can add the oregano basil here if you would like.
3. Slowly pour in the the yeast mixture.
4. Mix and knead the dough. The dough should be soft. It should not be sticky! If you poke it, it should slowly bounce back.
5. Grease a pot, add dough mixture, cover with a wet clean kitchen towel. You can place in a warm oven (less than 150F) to help with rising.Allow to rise for 60-90 minutes.
6. Pre-heat oven to 475 F.
7. Punch the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough in half. Flatten out dough with rolling pin or hands.
8. Add sauce and toppings.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
