2/3 cup warm water (110º-115º)
1 tsp sugar
1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
Recipe
Preheat oven to 500º
Combine water and sugar in a small bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle yeast into bowl and stir until mixed; let stand 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; add yeast mixture to flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed.
Lightly spray the large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough into bowl; cover with towel or plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes (I let mine rise longer…about 45), until doubled in size.
Punch dough down and place onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 2-3 minutes, until dough is smooth. Lightly spray pizza pan or baking sheet with cooking spray. Stretch dough and pat into prepared pan. Top with your favorite toppings.
