Jen LeBow’s Pizza Dough Recipe

Jen LeBow’s Pizza Dough

 

Combine and set aside:

1 t active dry yeast (like from a Fleischman’s packet)

1 ¼ cups warm (around 100°)

Let sit 15 minutes.

 

In bowl of stand mixer, combine:

4 cups flour

1 ½ t salt

1-2 t Italian seasoning

 

Using dough hook, beat on low speed while adding alternately:

¼ cup olive oil

Water/yeast mixture

 

Mix on low speed about 5-7 minutes, til dough is elastic.

Knead by hand another 2-3 minutes.  Dough should be just slightly sticky.

Place dough in oiled bowl and cover. Let rise somewhere draft-free 1-2 hours.

 

Make pizza!  (Roll out dough til it’s thin, put on whatever toppings you like and bake in 550° oven about 15 minutes.)
