*A standard pizza dough for pizza night.*
## Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (temperature depends on type of yeast, usually 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons dry active yeast (1 normal sized packet)
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (approximate)
## Instructions
1. Measure **warm water** (between 100°-110°F) in a measuring cup, then add the **yeast** and **sugar**. Stir gently, then let sit around 5 minutes until its active and foamy. This will happen within 5 minutes. Use a thermometer to measure water temp.
2. Stir **salt**, **oil**, and 2 cups **flour** in a large mixing bowl, stirring in the yeast mixture as you go, using a wooden spoon.
3. Add the third cup of **flour** and then stir until you cant anymore. Remove the spoon and then use your hands to work the dough into a ball that is slightly sticky.
4. Spray a second large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, add your pizza dough ball, then spray the top lightly with cooking spray and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Place in a warm area of the kitchen and let rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
## Notes
### Family Sized
- Recipe makes about 4 medium sized pizza doughs. Each would cover most of a pizza spatula as a thinner crust.
### Yeast Quality
- Good yeast is the secret here. From a packet is better than keeping bulk usually. Either way, the more bubbles the better.
