Ingredients
- 2 packets active dry yeast the catalyst for fermentation, which, when combined with the other ingredients, will create the magical rise and lightness of your dough.
- 4 tablespoons fragrant and luscious extra virgin olive oil drizzling richness and a subtle, fruity aroma into the dough, ensuring a smooth and supple texture, and imparting a delectable Mediterranean note to your culinary creation.
- 5 cups of versatile all-purpose flour the foundation of your culinary creation, ready to be transformed into a dough that will deliver the perfect balance of chewiness and tenderness.
- 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar a touch of sweetness to awaken and nourish the yeast ensuring a harmonious and flavorful rise.
- 2 teaspoons salt the seasoning agent that will enhance the flavors in your dough striking a perfect balance with the sugar to create a mouthwatering foundation.
- 2 cups warm water the nurturing liquid that will activate the yeast and coax the dough into its fluffy, airy texture.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes or until foamy.
- Stir in the olive oil, salt, and four cups of all-purpose flour until everything is well combined to form a sticky dough.
- Knead the dough with your hands for about 8-10 minutes or until the dough is soft and elastic. The more you knead, the better your pizza crust will be!
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Allow it to rise in a warm spot in your kitchen for 1-2 hours.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch down the dough and knead it once more.
- Divide the pizza dough into two equal parts.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness or thinness.
- Place your favorite toppings on top of your pizza.
- Bake your pizza in the oven at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Enjoy your homemade pizza made with delicious Costco ingredients!
Notes
- When preparing the dough, make sure to knead it for long enough to ensure that it is light and fluffy on the inside.
- Additionally, be sure to let the dough rise in a warm spot in your kitchen for at least 1-2 hours before you roll it out. This will help give your pizza crust a perfect texture and flavor.
- Lastly, always make sure that the oven is preheated before baking your pizza. This will help ensure that your pizza crust comes out golden brown and crispy.
