Easy Pizza Dough
Dough
2 1/2 to 3 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 oz (1 pkg) yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup very warm water (120F to 130F)
2 tbsp oil
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast and salt; blend well. Gradually add warm water and 2 tbsp oil to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at medium speed; scrapping bowl occasionally. By hand, stir in additional 1 to 1/2 cups flour till dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.
2. On floured surface, knead in 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic; about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rest in warm place for 10 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 450F (230C). Roll out dough into 12 inch circle; place on light greased 12-inch pizza pan or large cookie sheet. Pinch edge of dough to create rim. Prick dough randomly with fork. Let rest 10 minutes.
4. Add toppings. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Note: 1 cup = 150 gm

Hi!
can I substitute all purpose flour with plain flour instead?
Elaine, all purpose flour is actually plain flour.
I'm a guy and totally new to cooking. This recipe is simple enough for me to try. I wonder why we have to use sugar and especially oil here?
Hi Lee
When you said 'blend' flour, sugar,yeast, salt, are you saying using the cake mixer to whisk ?
Love to try this tomorrow.
Thanks.
Catherine
sorry Lee, forgot to ask you about yr item 1), u said 'by hand, add another 1 to half cup flour to gather to dough from sides. Are this one and half cup flr a separate measurement from the above amount of flour ?
Pls adv.
Thanks.
Catherine
Hi Catherine, yes use mixer to mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
The 1 to 1.5 cup is part of the flour mentioned in the ingredients parts. But if it is still to soft, you can always add more flour.
