Steph's Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough


1 package Active Dry Yeast
1 pinch Sugar
1 c. warm Water *
2 tbsp. + Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. kosher Salt
2 c. Unbleached Flour**
1 c. Whole Wheat Flour**

*You want about 110 degrees. I use my hot tap water.
**Mix both flours together.


Stir yeast, sugar, and water into bowl. Allow to sit until foamy (5-10 min).

Stir in EVOO and salt.

Stir in one cup of flour to liquid yeast mixture.

Stir in remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until a “ball” begins to form. Save about ½ cup flour for next step.


Sprinkle remaining ½ cup flour on workspace. Remove dough ball from bowl. Begin kneading dough on flour, sprinkling more flour if necessary to keep from sticking. Knead until smooth and shiny.

Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise until double in a warm space (1 hour).

Press dough out onto oiled or greased pizza pan. Top with ingredients and bake!
