Pizza Dough

Ingredients

1 ½ – 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 package dry yeast
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F)
2 tablespoons cooking oil or olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl combine 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt; add water and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Divide dough into 8 pieces. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes. Makes 8 mini pizzas.
