Directions:PIZZA DOUGH
1. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar and warm water, still gently to dissolve. Let the mixture stand until the yeast comes alive and starts to foam, about 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Turn the mixer on low and add the flour and olive oil. Add the salt and mix at the slowest speed until all the flour has been incorporated. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium. Stop the mixer periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Feel the dough by squeezing a small amount together: if crumbly, add more water; if sticky, add more flour - 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix until the dough gathers into a ball, about 5 minutes.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. (Or buy the prepared dough at Trader Joe's™.) Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turn the dough over to coat, Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise until doubled in size, about ½ hour.
4. Roll or pat the dough until it is about ½-inch thick.
