Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups Flour divided
  • 1 packet RapidRise Yeast
  • 3/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1 cup Very Warm Water
  • 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add 2 cups of flour, yeast and salt. Stir together.
  • Add the very warm water and vegetable oil and stir to combine.
  • Continue stirring, adding the extra 1/2 cup of flour as needed until a soft dough forms.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and hands, then turn dough onto work surface. Knead for about 4-6 minutes, adding small amounts of flour if needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Form into a ball, cover with a dish towel and place in a warm place to rise for 10-15 minutes before using.

Notes

If baking immediately, roll out on a pizza pan that is coated in cornmeal. Add toppings and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until done. The actual time it will take to bake depends on how thick or thin you roll your dough.
