How to Make California Pizza Kitchen Pizza Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into desired portions. Shape into balls or your preferred pizza crust shape.
  7. Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes before stretching or rolling it out to your desired thickness.
  8. Top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  9. Bake at 450-500°F (232-260°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
