We make pizzas a lot and below is my favorite recipe so far from Pioneer Women. It's super easy and comes together quick. We don't even have a mixer. Add the yeast to the warm water first and let it sit for 5 minutes or so. Add the flour and salt in a large bowl and mix with a fork or whisk so the salt mixes in the flour. Add the olive oil, then add the water yeast mix and mix till you get a sticky mess. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, form into a ball, coat it with a little olive oil , and put it in your mixing bowl and seal with plastic wrap. It's usable after an hour or two of sitting out (or I like to make it 24 hours to 48 hours in advance and just let it sit in the fridge covered in plastic wrap). When ready to use, cut it in half, punch it down, then roll it out. If it's not stretching that well, roll it as much as you can and then let it sit for a couple minutes and it will loosen up, then keep rolling till you get the size you want. Good luck! This batch makes two pizzas. It freezes awesome too if you only want to make one pizza.
1 teaspoon Active Dry Or Instant Yeast
4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.
In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment), drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you need it. ***It's best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.
