Anna Marie’s Pizza Dough

We get asked what makes Anna Marie’s pizza dough so good. We will not reveal our secret but we’re sharing this recipe to start you off.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 cup warm water (around 110°F/43°C)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl (or mixer), combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the olive oil and warm water to the bowl. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a sticky, elastic ball.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 450°F/230°C.
6. Punch the dough down to remove any air bubbles, and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into desired portions (typically, this recipe makes enough dough for two 12-inch pizzas).
7. Roll each portion of the dough into a thin, round shape, and place it on a lightly oiled pizza pan.
8. Add your desired toppings, and bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
