1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tsp. yeast
2 tsp. sugar
about 2 3/4 cups bread flour
1/3 cup semolina flour (optional)
1 tsp. salt
Makes 1 large pizza (so I double it to make 2)
Mix warm water, yeast and sugar in mixing bowl. Let the yeast bloom. When it is foamy on top, add the salt, semolina flour and about 2 cups of the bread flour (if making a single recipe). Let knead in the mixing bowl and then gradually add more bread flour until the dough pulls together. It is better to err on the side of slightly sticky rather than too stiff for this dough. Let is knead for a few more minutes and then let it rise for about 1 hour.
For pizza, roll out dough and place on a greased pizza pan. Also, I like to spray the edge of the dough with a little oil so it browns better in the oven. Top with sauce, cheese and toppings.
Bake at 500 degrees for about 9 minutes.
