Sara Moulton's Food Processor Pizza Dough

By

Ingredients

  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups unsifted, unbleached all-purpose flour
  • One 1/4-ounce package quick-rising yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Add 3/4 cup very warm water (120 to 130 F) and the oil; process until a soft dough forms.

Add as much of the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at time, as necessary to make the dough manageable.

Shape the dough in a ball and place in an oiled bowl, turning so an oiled surface is up.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 35 minutes.
