Pizza Dough

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 00 flour, yeast and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
2. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
3. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal portions if making two smaller pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for about 10 minutes before rolling out.
5. Your pizza dough is now ready to be rolled out and topped with your favorite ingredients. Enjoy making delicious homemade pizza!
