What you will need -

Equipment :

a big bowl.
measuring cup
measuring spoons
whisk? or spoon


Ingredients:

2 tsps of active dry yeast (available in bulk at limbo)
1.5 tsp kosher salt
2.5-3 cups of flour
1 tsp sugar.
1 cup warm water
1tsp Olive Oil

directions.

In the bowl mix together the sugar and active dry yeast. Pour over some warm water. let this sit for about 10 minutes. You will be able to see the yeast working by a white foam that forms on the top.
Mix one cup of flour and the salt into the water. Whisk or stir until smooth. Continue adding flour until you can't stir it anymore.
Now the fun part. take off that diamond and work the rest of the flour in by hand. When the dough is only slightly sticky and can be handled without sticking all over your hand. Knead it a few times.
I usually clean out the bowl at this point. Dry it and then put the oil on the bottom. Roll the dough ball around in it until it is covered.
Then cover with a clean cloth or damp paper towel.

let it rise. (hours)

I usually stretch it on a baking sheet. I don't usually use a rolling pin.

After you add topping bake at 500 degrees for 15 mins.. keep an eye on it though. The dough should start to brown.

You can also use this to make calzones.
