Ingredients

1 1/2 cups hot water (110˚F-115˚F)
2 1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast
2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoon sea salt
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the bowl)

Instructions

Stir together the water, yeast, and sugar. Cover and allow the yeast to proof (or foam) for 5-10 minutes.
Stir in olive oil, salt, and flour. Knead for 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer or until smooth and elastic.
Remove the dough from the bowl, add the olive oil and grease the sides. Return the dough to the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and raise for 60 minutes.
Punch down and turn out onto a floured surface. Cover lightly and rest for 5 minutes before forming crusts.
To refrigerate pizza dough, cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Allow dough to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before forming into crusts.
To freeze pizza dough, divided into two dough balls, cover each tightly with plastic wrap, and place in a freezer bag. Move the dough to the fridge 24 hours before using it and then remove from fridge 20-30 minutes before forming into crusts.
