Name: Homemade Pizza Dough
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: two 8-inch (20 cm) pizza crusts
Ingredients: 1 cup (250 ml) warm water; 1 tsp Instant Yeast; 1 tsp sugar; 2 cups (300 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 tsp salt

Ingredients

1 cup (250 ml) warm water
1 tsp Instant Yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 cups (300 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until the mixture foams on top, about 5 minutes.
In a food processor, making sure to use the plastic blade or the dough hook, combine the flour and salt. Increase the speed to medium and pour in the yeast mixture, while the machine is running, until a soft ball forms.
Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm, humid spot for 20 minutes.
Cut the dough in half. Use the pizza dough immediately or cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate (for up to 48 hours) or freeze.
This recipe will make two 9-inch (23-cm) thin-crust pizzas or two 8-inch (20-cm) thicker-crust pizzas.

Note from Ricardo

This pizza dough recipe is very simple and only takes 10 minutes to prepare. I make mine in the food processor, but it is not essential to do so. If you don’t have a food processor, make a well in the flour and salt and pour the liquid into the centre. Working with your fingers, gradually mix the dry ingredients into the liquid. It is important is to obtain a soft dough and to let it rise in a warm, humid place. I turn on my oven light and let the dough rise in the oven.
