How to Make Cuisinart Food Processor Pizza Dough

  1. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 cup (240ml) warm water (105-115°F).
  2. Let stand until foamy, about 3-5 minutes. This proves your yeast is alive and ready to work its magic!
  3. Fit your Cuisinart food processor with the dough blade. Add 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons olive oil to the work bowl.
  4. With the food processor running on dough speed (or the lowest speed), slowly pour the yeast mixture through the feed tube. Add the liquid as quickly as the flour will absorb it.
  5. Process until the dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
  6. Process for an additional 30 seconds to knead the dough. It may be slightly sticky – that's okay!
  7. Lightly coat the dough ball with 2 teaspoons olive oil to prevent sticking.
  8. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled food-storage bag, seal, and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  9. While the dough is rising, prepare your favorite pizza toppings.
  10. Once risen, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently punch it down.
  11. Roll or stretch the dough to your desired crust size and thickness.
