Easy Pizza Dough

Mix ¼ cup warm water with yeast and 1 tablespoon white flour. Cover with a cloth and set aside for about 15 minutes.

Once the mixture is foamy, add the rest of the water and stir. Mix in salt and 1 cup white flour. Add the rest of the flour and whole wheat flour and knead on a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest until dough has doubled in size.

Afterwards, knead dough for a few minutes before covering it and leaving it to rest once again, until it has doubled in size.

Knead dough once again (last time, I promise!). The dough is now ready to be shaped and topped.

For a thin crust pizza, roll dough out, transfer to a greased baking pan/sheet, top with your favorite sauce and toppings, and cook at 400ºF for about 15 minutes.

For a thick-crust pizza, roll dough out, transfer to a greased baking pan/sheet, and let rise in a warm oven for about 10 minutes before finishing it with your favorite sauce and toppings. Cook at 400ºF for about 15 minutes.

Note: If you find that dough is getting too stiff, sprinkle a bit of olive oil on it and knead oil into dough.
