Italian Recipe ⟶ Italian Pizza Dough

My home-made pizza dough; I make it 3 to 4 times a week.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
• ½ teaspoon white sugar
• ½ cup lukewarm water
• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 egg, beaten

Cooking Directions

1. Stir yeast and sugar into lukewarm water, using a fork. Let stand in a warm place until a creamy layer forms on top of the water, about 10 minutes.
2. Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix olive oil into flour and stir for 2 minutes. Pour yeast mixture and beaten egg into flour mixture and stir to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until springy and smooth, about 8 minutes. Place dough into a floured bowl and cover with a piece of plastic wrap wiped with a thin film of olive oil.
3. Let dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and roll out to desired shape.
