Homemade Pizza Dough

Yeast: You only need 1 standard packet of yeast (2 and 1/4 teaspoons) to get the job done.
Water: 1 and 1/3 cups is the perfect amount. Use warm water to cut down on rise time at 100-110°F.
Flour: Use unbleached all-purpose white flour
Oil: A couple Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Salt: Salt adds necessary flavor.
Sugar: 1 Tablespoon of sugar increases the yeast’s activity and tenderizes the dough, especially when paired with a little olive oil.

Mix the dough ingredients together by hand or use a hand-held or stand mixer.
Knead by hand or beat the dough with your mixer.
Place dough into a greased mixing bowl, cover tightly, and set aside to rise for about 90 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Punch down risen dough to release air bubbles. Divide in 2.
Roll dough out into a 12-inch circle.
