Baking Sheet Pizza Dough

By ezunich

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 2 tsp instant yeast
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 3/4 cup water
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Coat a large bowl thoroughly with nonstick spray. Whisk together flour and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer, then whisk in salt. Add water and 2 tbs oil; mix with a dough hook on a low speed until all flour is moistened. You may need to scrape flour down from sides of bowl and check that all flour from bottom of bowl has been mixed in. Increase speed to medium and knead dough until it pulls away from sides of bowl, 5-15 minutes (Dough will not form a ball). Transfer dough to a prepared bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size 1-2 hours. Preheat oven to 400° with rack in lowest position and baking stone on rack. Pour 1/4 cup oil in center of a 16 1/2 x 11 1/2 x 1 inch baking sheet. Transfer dough to a baking sheet. Using greased fingertips, gently press dough outward to fill pan. Top dough with desired topping and bake on baking stone until crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
