Classic Italian Pizza Crust

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix dry ingredient with yeast packet in either a food processor or mixer with dough hook.
  2. Whisk together 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of the Arbequina Olive Oil.
  3. Slowly pour the water/oil mixture into the flour/yeast mixture. Process until the dough comes out clean from the sides of the bowl and forms a slightly sticky ball. Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Knead a few times until a smooth ball is formed. Coat dough very lightly with oil. Transfer to a larger bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes.
  4. Remove dough from bowl, punch down and divide into 2 balls, pinching the bottoms closed. Place on a sheet of parchment and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour.

To Shape:

  1. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, from center to edge, rotating often. Shape into a 10–12-inch circle. It does not need to be perfect!
  2. Preheat oven to 475⁰F. Transfer pizza crust to pan sprinkled with cornmeal or flour (to prevent sticking).
  3. Top with your favorite sauce, toppings, and/or olive oil included in the kit.
  4. Bake for about 7-10 minutes until the edges and bottom of pizza are lightly browned.
