SICILIAN PIZZA DOUGH

By peridot728

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for the bowl)
• 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine salt, yeast, and water. Mix with a spoon, then add the olive oil and flour and mix until the ingredients form a ball and look smooth. Remove the dough ball from the bowl, coat the bowl with oil, and put the dough back in the bowl to proof. Cover the bowl with a dishtowel or something else that's not airtight that will allow the dough to breathe. Set it aside for an hour. The dough should double in size.
