Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 Teaspoons (1 envelope) dry yeast
1/2 Teaspoon sugar
3/4 Cup lukewarm water
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Mix the yeast, sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup flour together in a bowl and
let proof for 10 minutes. Mixture should look frothy.
Add remaining flour, salt and olive oil and mix well. Turn out onto a
lightly floured work surface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until dough is
elastic and smooth. Alternately you can do this with the dough hook in a
heavy duty mixer. Dough should feel moist and tender. If it's too stiff, add
a bit more water.
Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat it evenly. Cover and let rise
in a warm spot in kitchen (at least 75 degrees) for 1-2 hours.
Yield: 1 large rectangular pizza
