How to Make Bea's Pizza Dough
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, mixing until the dough starts to come together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once doubled, gently punch down the dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half (or more, depending on desired pizza size).
- Shape each portion into a ball. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Shape your dough, add your favorite toppings, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
