Food-Processor Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbs. active dry yeast
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 cup warm water (105° to 115°F)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade, combine the flour and salt and process with 3 or 4 pulses. With the motor running on the dough speed, slowly add the yeast mixture, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Continue processing until the dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl, about 1 minute, then process for 1 minute more.
Coat the inside of a large bowl with the olive oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1⁄2 hours. Divide the dough in half and roll out as directed in the pizza recipe.
