Ingredients

  • 148 g water
  • 4 g instant yeast
  • 265 g all-purpose flour
  • 4 g Salt Kosher or table (by weight)
  • 27 g olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic - this can take 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer, and use a dough hook at medium-low speed to mix and form a smooth, elastic dough. (If dough seems a little dry, add water one teaspoon at a time.)
  • Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat, then cover. Prove dough until doubled, approximately 1 hour.
  • Turn proved dough out onto lightly floured surface, and gently press into a disk to deflate. Dough can be used for make a 12" pizza, 2 large calzones, or appetizers.
