How to make dough:
Whisk 3 – 3/4 cups flour and a 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add 1 1/3 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 packet yeast. When foamy, mix in 3 tablespoons olive oil and knead until smooth. Brush with olive oil, cover in a bowl and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Divide into two 1-pound balls. Use 1 pound per recipe unless noted.
To save time, you can buy premade dough at your local grocery store or pizzeria.
