Thin Crust Italian Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• Wheat Flour 4 cups
• Sugar 2 tablespoons
• Coarse Salt 2 teaspoons
• Water 1½ cups
• Dry yeast 0 oz
• Olive Oil ¼ cup

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Sift the flour through a sieve into a deep bowl. Add sugar and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Dissolve the fresh yeast in warm water until fully dissolved. Add to the mixture (step 1) and gently stir with a spoon.

Step 3

Add olive oil and knead the dough by hand. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the bowl and it is ready to use. The resulting dough is enough for 1–2 baking sheets (depending on the thickness of the crust). Additionally, the dough can be divided into portioned pieces, wrapped in plastic wrap, and stored in the freezer for later use.
