Italian Pizza Dough
  1. Sprinkle yeast over the warm water and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to become foamy.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and sea salt.

  3. While stirring, drizzle the olive oil into the flour mixture until it is fully combined. Flour mixture will be crumbly.

  4. Pour the water/yeast into the flour mixture and stir until dough comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes (dough will become less sticky and develop some elasticity).

  5. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large mixing bowl coated in olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 ½ -2 hours, or until dough has doubled in size.

  6. Punch down the dough.

  7. Divide dough into 3 equal portions (for pizzas) and place in ziploc bags in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

  8. Remove dough from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using. Press into a large round, top with olive oil, sauce, and toppings.

  9. Bake pizza at 500°F for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is cooked through.
