Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup of warm water

Instructions:

• Activate the Yeast:
  • Using your D'BakerAid, select one of the yeast fermentation/activation programs that matches your yeast type (e.g., Fresh, Instant, Dry) for the D'Yeast glass bowl.
  • Place the yeast, sugar, and warm water in the D'Yeast glass bowl, and then close it with the lid.
  • Let the program run until the yeast is fully activated (usually 10-15 minutes).

• Mix the Dough:
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  • Once the yeast is activated, add the flour mixture and olive oil to the D'Dough larger bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients manually in the D'Dough bowl or in a standing mixer until you have a smooth, elastic dough.

• Rise:
  • Leave the dough in the D'Dough bowl and cover it with the lid.
  • Select one of the proofing programs that matches your dough type (e.g., White, Mixed, Whole Grain or Sourdough) on the D'BakerAid.
  • Allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size, typically 30-40 minutes with the device. During this time, perform gentle foldings of the dough every 15 minutes. You may repeat the program 1-2 more times if needed, as pizza dough benefits from extra attention and patience.

• Preheat and Shape:
  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach (usually around 500°F or 260°C).
  • Divide the risen dough into portions for your desired pizza sizes and shape them into rounds or rectangles on a floured surface.
• Bake:
  • Place your pizza toppings on the dough.
  • Transfer the pizza(s) to a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly (usually 10-12 minutes).

Enjoy your homemade pizza!
