Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• 22.5 ounces bread flour
• 0.5 ounce sugar
• 0.35 ounce kosher salt
• 0.35 ounce instant yeast
• 1.125 ounces olive oil
• 15 ounces lukewarm water

Steps

1. Place flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in the food processor.
2. Pulse 3 to 4 times until combined.
3. Add olive oil and water to food processor.
4. Run food processor until mixture forms a ball that rides around the bowl above the blade, about 15 seconds.
5. Continue processing 15 seconds longer.
6. Remove dough from food processor and, using a food scale, divide dough into three equal parts and shape into balls.
7. At least 2 hours before baking (or longer if dough was in the refrigerator) place dough ball in a medium bowl, drizzle with a few drops of olive oil, use your hands to roll and cover the ball in the olive oil, then cover with plastic wrap. Dough will rise and be ready for spreading out into pizza dough for topping.

Notes

• Makes 3 dough balls.
• To freeze: wrap each dough ball in a 12-inch length of plastic wrap and place it in a 1-quart freezer bag.
• To use frozen dough: move it to the refrigerator the day before baking, then follow step 7 on the day of baking.
