In our house, Friday night is pizza night!\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t find good pizza nearby, so we decided to make our own!\u00a0 This is my recipe that I created from a few others I had found.\u00a0 It is very forgiving, but you need to make sure of two things:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n
1. Ensure the yeast is activated.<\/li>\r\n
2. Add enough flour to ensure the dough doesn\u2019t stick to your fingers when you touch it.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

   And, if you have leftover dough, you can freeze it.\u00a0 When ready to use, just bring it back to room temperature & it will still rise!\u00a0 So, here’s the recipe.<\/p>\r\n

   Ingredients<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

   \r\n
   • 1 to 1-1\/2 c hot water<\/li>\r\n
   • 1 package of yeast<\/li>\r\n
   • 1 T sugar<\/li>\r\n
   • 3 T oil<\/li>\r\n
   • 1\/4 c (or less) brown sugar<\/li>\r\n
   • 1 t kosher salt<\/li>\r\n
   • 4-5 c (more or less) flour<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

     Combine hot water, yeast & sugar in a bowl.\u00a0 Let sit for 05-10min to let yeast activate.<\/p>\r\n

     In a food processor, combine oil, brown sugar & salt by pulsing a few times.\u00a0 Pour activated yeast into food processor & pulse a few more times.<\/p>\r\n

     Add flour to mixture & pulse until a ball forms.\u00a0 Add enough flour so that dough isn’t tacky (doesn’t stick to your fingers when you touch it).\u00a0 This is KEY!<\/p>\r\n

     Put the dough in a bowl that has been coated with oil.\u00a0 Cover with plastic wrap & let it rise until it doubles, about 1-1\/2 hrs.\u00a0 TIP:\u00a0 If you want the dough to rise faster, heat your oven to 170F.\u00a0 Then turn off the oven & put the dough in.\u00a0 It will rise within 45min.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

     Preheat oven with pizza stone or pizza steel (if you have one) to 500F.\u00a0 Put desired toppings on dough & carefully transfer to pizza stone or steel.\u00a0 Cook 6-8 min depending on thickness of dough, amount of toppings & desired level of crispiness.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\r\n
