Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • ½ cup lukewarm water

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Stir yeast and sugar into lukewarm water, using a fork. Let stand in a warm place until a creamy layer forms on top of the water, about 10 minutes.

  2. Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix olive oil into flour and stir for 2 minutes. Pour yeast mixture and beaten egg into flour mixture and stir to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until springy and smooth, about 8 minutes. Place dough into a floured bowl and cover with a piece of plastic wrap wiped with a thin film of olive oil.

  3. Let dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and roll out to desired shape.

To Use:

Roll dough out into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Top with your favorite pizza ingredients and bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
