Recipe of Today: Pizza Dough (Thin-Crust)

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ tsps active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 105°F)
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 cup plus 3 tbsps all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsps kosher salt
• 2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions:

• Plug in the food processor attachment with a dough blade, combine the cake flour, all-purpose flour, and salt and beat 3 or 4 times.

• Add in 1 tbsp olive oil into the yeast mixture. With the motor running, slowly add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, letting each addition to be absorbed completed before adding more. Pulse the machine 10 to 15 times to knead the dough. The dough should clean the inside of the bowl but will be slightly sticky.

• Spread the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl. Dust your hands with flour, then remove the dough from the stand mixer. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size for one to one and a half hours. Divide the dough in half and roll out as directed in the pizza recipe. Makes two 10-inch thin-crust pizzas. Enjoy!
