Pizza Dough

My rating: 4.5 stars

Kids' rating: 5 stars

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon instant yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 cup warm water

Dissolve yeast and sugar into warm water.

Mix in mixer:

4 cups flour (I really like bread flour, but bread or all-purpose work)

2 tablespoon melted butter

1 teaspoon salt

With mixer on, slowly add the yeast mixture. You want this to be combined, but not dry. If you need to add more water, add it to the measuring cup, so you can pick up the sugar that inevitably stuck to the cup. 

Once mixed, switch to dough hook and knead for 6 minutes, until dough clears the bowl.

Form four balls and let rise until doubled, about an hour.

Preheat pizza stone in oven during this time, to 425°.

Roll out the dough to form a circle, then prepare the pizza on the stone. Bake for 9 minutes, more if you have a lot of toppings.
