The perfect base-dough for your favorite pizza toppings!

Ingredients

• 1 cup water, at body temperature
• 1 package (1/4 ounce, or 2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1. Measure the water into a 2-cup glass measure. Add the yeast and sugar. Stir with a fork and set aside for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil.

2. Combine the flour and salt in the work bowl of a food processor; pulse to mix. Stir the yeast mixture again. With the machine running, add the liquid through the feed tube in one 5-second stream, then let the machine run for 10 seconds. (If the dough sticks to the side of the bowl, turn off the machine and add 1 tablespoon of flour through the feed tube before continuing.) Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 30 seconds.

3. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl; rotate to coat. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Makes enough for two 10-inch pizzas.
