Serves: 4 pizza crusts
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups warm water (110 degrees F)
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 3½ cups flour
  • ¼ cup Everything Bagel Spice, optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Add the sugar to the warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. After a minute, gently stir the yeast into the warm water and let stand until some foaming bubbles appear on the surface to indicate the yeast is active. (If this does not happen after a few minutes, toss and start again with fresh yeast.)
  2. While the yeast is activating, combine the flour, spice, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook on and mix together for a minute. add the olive oil and the yeast water and mix on low until the dough comes together into one ball and pulls away from the sides, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and let the mixer knead the dough for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove dough to an oiled bowl, rub some oil on the dough, cover, and place in a slightly warm place to rise until double in size, 1-3 hours.
  4. When the dough has risen, cut into 4 pieces to make 4 crusts. Alternatively, divide the dough into two pieces and shape into baguettes. If making pizza, roll out into a thinly shape to fit your pan or stone and proceed with topping your pizza and baking at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. If making bread, lay the baguettes in a baguette baking pan, cover, and let them rise slightly again before baking at 400 degrees until nicely browned, about 15-20 minutes.
