INGREDIENTS:

PROOFING THE YEAST

In a bowl add the sugar, ½ cup of warm water and one packet of active dry yeast and stir. This can be done right in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a separate bowl.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Allow the yeast to set for 10 minutes. This is called proofing, and allows the yeast to begin to grow and expand. Your mixture should turn frothy looking on top, and should smell a bit earthy.

Mix together the flour, salt and Italian seasoning blend (optional) until combined, starting first at a low speed is the best way. Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture.

MIXING THE PIZZA DOUGH

Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and an additional ½ cup of warm water on top to the dough mixture.

Start the mixer or food processor with the dough hook or dough attachment. You can mix dough by hand but the easiest way is with a mixer or food processor.
