New York Style Pizza Dough

1. 1

   Add the water, yeast, sugar, and a 1/2 cup of the flour into a mixing bowl. Stir well and let sit for 20 minutes. It will get bubbly.

2. 2

   Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of the flour, and mix with a wooden spoon until it's together enough to turn out on to a lightly floured work surface to knead.

3. 3

   Knead for about 10 minutes, while adding more flour a little at a time, to produce a soft, elastic and slightly sticky dough. Do not add too much flour, just enough to keep it from sticking to the work surface as you knead.

4. 4

   Form the dough into a ball and place in a large oiled bowl. Drizzle a few drops of oil and coat the top of dough to prevent the surface from becoming dry.

5. 5

   Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm spot for 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.

6. 6

   Punch down the dough and divide into 2 balls and place in large zip lock plastic bags and refrigerate overnight.

7. 7

   When ready to use, remove from fridge, and let the dough come up to room temperature before using.
