The Secret To Perfect Pizza Dough

By srumbel

I’ve been wanting to write this post forever! So this summer, one of our favorite meals was homemade pizza on the grill. I would make the dough in the afternoon and just let it sit, and then in the evening, the pizza would take about 20 minutes on the grill. It was such an easy delicious dinner! And I know I don’t get all let’s do this homemade on you very often, but when it comes to pizza dough, I really do like homemade so much more!

Ingredients

• 1 cup + 1 TBSP water, heated to 110 to 115 degrees
• 2 1/4 tsps active dry yeast
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Heat water to between 110 and 115 degrees.
Sprinkle 2 1/4 tsps active dry yeast over the water. Then sprinkle 1 tsp of sugar over the yeast. Let it sit until the water has become frothy. If it doesn't froth as pictured above, dump your water and start again.
In the bowl of a food processor add three cups all purpose flower and salt. Pulse for a few seconds to evenly distribute the salt.
With the food processor running, add the oil. Then add the yeast water combination with the food processor still running until a dough ball forms.
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Put the dough ball in and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to double in size, about an hour to an hour and a half.
Pull the dough apart to create two dough balls for two pizza crusts.
