Pizza Dough
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine 1-1/4 cups of the flour, the yeast, and salt; add warm water and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Divide dough in half. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes.

It's very valuable recipe can be used for any type of pizzas and to have an idea of to switch it to others as well.

I LOVE this easy pizza dough! It is wonderful made exactly as in the recipe. I began to use this recipe probably 25 years ago and though I've tried other recipes, I love this one most. I've gone on to find that if you throw in a tablespoon of garlic powder with the flour, you get a very tasty crust! I usually make the part-whole wheat version and always get raves. I prefer to use the whole wheat flour in the FIRST step rather than add it when kneading because I know that whole wheat flour takes time to assimilate with the liquid. I plan to make this recipe once again today: just tripling it for a group of 14 people!
