That will make some good dough, the sugar and Olive oil makes the difference.Pizza Dough
3 1/2 cups bread flour (Crispy crust) All Purpose can be used but it is a chewier texture,
You may need a bit more flour you have to see how wet it is (humidity and altitude make that adjustable)
1 tsp sugar
1 envelope instant dry yeast
2 tsp kosher salt
1 ½ cups water at 110ºF
2 Tbsp olive oil, plus 2 tsp
disolve the sugar in the water and put in the yeast. I use it in a jar and 2 1/4 tsp = 1 pack.
leave it to proof until its foamy...10 minutes?
add the salt to the flour and add the foamy yeast sugar water and you can use your food processor with a dough hook for 90 seconds OR start kneading like a Mario.
I prefer doing it by hand because...well its a bread and you need to feel it and you get a feel for when its ready.
knead it until its shiny...homogenous..take your time go slow...build those forearsm like popeye the sailor man.
then make it a ball and put a bit of olive oil in a bowl like a tablespoon and roll the ball around and cover it with plastic wrap leave in a warm spot for hours. 4 is ok...6 is getting good...8 hours...there is a difference and at 8 its about perfection if you have the time.
This recipe makes a sheet pan with a thick crust or two 10 inch pies...i stretch them out thin and flat and make them on a stone on the BBQ or in the oven.
Pizza ..roll them out or stretch them out until they are the thickness you like. Add sauce cheese and whatever you like...ANYTHING works on a pizza.
Very thinly sliced new yukon gold potatoes with good salt (himalayin sea salt is fantastic on it) olive oil and a few sprigs of rosemary...what a pizza.
I use various made in Italy jarred sauces to speed it up.
Preheat at 400 (preheat that stone a good 30 minutes if you use one...sheet pan just put it in)
Use parchment paper on your cookie sheet if your making it in a pan...you can also do 2 square pizzas on a sheet or make a ridge in the centre of the crust so you can have different topings without leaching flavors (olives or onions domiate a pizza and kids mostly hate it).
Put the pizza on the parchment load it up bake at 400 for about 25 minutes but just watch for the cheese to be bubbly and for it to look ready.
I never order pizza because i am a fierce critic of something i can do better.
Anyone can do it better. Cheese freezes and so do topings so you can have it all on standby and BOOM pizza.

I agree and I'm really happy that you guys are sharing this stuff. I made a list of things that I need to learn, when I turned 30 and started eating lots of mushrooms. Making bread is definitely on that list. I have a lot of catching up to do because of all my years of fucking off and drug use....I appreciate this! Thanks for sharing guys ?I am going to get a sack of bread flour. They have the GIANT homesteader sacks all over the place here now and it was always on my bucket list.
its time to learn how to make exceptional bread.. It is one of those basic things that is almost primal. Like cooking over fire.
Now if i can figure out to make bread over fire...break out the loincloths and togas...
