Notes: Preference is to use Olive Oil. This is a major flavoring factor of the dough.
(*) - tip for even rising: While making dough, preheat oven to 200 degrees. When reaches 200, turn oven OFF. Place covered bowl inside oven and let rise there.
This recipe makes 1 extra large, 2 medium or 4 personal pan pizzas.
Can make the dough ahead of time and freeze. To freeze, after kneading: form dough into ball. Wrap in saran wrap, place inside plastic, sealable container that is larger then the existing ball of dough and place in freezer. Dough will expand some during freezing period.
