1
Heat water in the microwave to between 105 and 110 degrees F. Add yeast to the water and stir.
-
2
Add sugar, sea salt, cold water and olive oil.
-
3
I also add any spices I desire to give flavor to the dough, but this is completely optional (red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, etc...)
-
4
Pour the yeast mixture into the mixer and start the mixer with a stirring attachment.
-
5
Start adding flour little by little (I use a big spoon).
-
6
Add flour until the dough starts to stick to the beater.
-
7
Once it forms one sticky lump, remove the beater and switch to a dough hook.
-
8
Keep adding flour until the dough comes together and the dough ball cleans the bowl.
-
9
(Periodically stop and take the dough off the hook to check it.)
-
10
Once the ball cleans the bowl, remove the dough ball and set it on the counter.
-
11
If it doesnt spread out and is somewhat firm/spongy, it is done.
-
12
Coat a Ziploc bag with olive oil, put the dough in the bag and refrigerate.
-
13
For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 days.
-
14
Pull the dough out of the refrigerator 2 hours prior to making pizza.
-
15
When ready, press the dough down and stretch it to the desired size.
-
16
Put it on a pizza screen, stone or pan.
-
17
Add toppings and cook at 500 degrees F for approximately 18 minutes.

Enjoy!
