Pizza Dough contributed by carla
Makes two 12" round pizzas or one 12x16" pizza.
1-1/4 c. warm water 1 scant T. active dry yeast pinch sugar 3 c. all-purpose flour, or more as needed 1 t. sea salt 1 T. olive oil
Put the warm water in a mixing bowl and stir in the yeast, sugar and 1 cup of the flour. Set aside until foamy, 20 to 30 minutes. Lightly oil a clean bowl for the dough.
Stir in the salt and oil, then start stirring in the flour until the dough is fairly stiff. When too stiff to stir, turn it out onto a lightly floured counter and knead until the dough is smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes. Add more flour as needed. Put the dough in the oiled bowl, turn once to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
For pizzas, divide into 2 or 4 pieces, shape loosely into balls, then roll out into thin circles. For one large rustic pie, roll into a large thin rectangle and bake in on a sheet pan.
