By burnside_baker

Ingredients

• 1 pkg dry yeast
• 1/2 t sugar
• 1 1/2 C lukewarm water
• 3 1/2 C white flour
• 1 1/2 t salt
• 1 egg
• olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle yeast and sugar into water and mix. Allow to sit for 10 mins until mix starts to bubble.

Combine flour and salt in large bowl, make a well in the centre, pour in yeast mix and beaten egg and gradually work in the flour to make a dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic - at least 5 mins. Use onle enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to the surface.

Place in lightly oiled bowl, turn dough to coat with oil and cover with a clean cloth.

Allow to rise for 45 mins, or until doubled in volume. Punch down and then use as directed in recipe. (Use rolling motion with fists to force-stretch dough to size of pizza pan).
