3 Cups of Flour
1 teaspoon of Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon of Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Salt

PREPPING

a trick I like to use it to take a glass container and put in microwave for 20 seconds
(this will make the container warm and make the yeast have the effect faster)

In a container mix the 3/4 cup of Warm Water

And the Packet of Yeast

Once mix let rest

Let rest for 5 - 10 minutes

In mixing bowl ADD 2 CUPS OF FLOUR

Teaspoon of Salt

Teaspoon of Sugar

Teaspoon of Olive Oil

And water/Yeast Mixture
Once all in the bowl

Mix



Add remaining Flour

Until dough is together
(Add more flour if need be)
Take dough out and kneed for 2 minutes


Take a tablespoon of Flour and coat the bottom of a bowl
(This will help the dough not to stick to the bowl)


Place dough and let rest for at least 15 minutes
(until twice the size)
From there you can make pizza,Calzones,Zepoles,Garlic knots Etc.



Either way Try it and ENJOY
