Homemade Dough for Pizza

Pour warm water into a bowl with yeast. Allow it to sit for five minutes. If it becomes foamy, proceed; if not, discard and use fresh yeast.

Add olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix using a stand mixer with a dough hook on a low setting. If the mixture is too sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time. Knead for seven minutes.

Stop when the dough slightly springs back when poked. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm area for 30 to 60 minutes.

Once risen, take the dough out of the bowl and split it into two equal parts. Use immediately for your preferred pizza recipe or keep in a loosely covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
