PIZZA DOUGH

Well I can actually say I feel like Pizza is my life and in my blood...My Dad started his first Pizza and Delicatessen back in 1956...He was a real trail blazer selling his 24 piece Sicilian style square pizza  trays by the slice...Buscemi's Pizza stores to this day are still following his lead even though he is no longer with us...although this dough isn't the actual recipe he used...it is a very good dough that I use all the time now..Our family loves Pizza and my husband and I host Pizza Party's for the family all year long!...Dad would be proud!....Here is my recipe...Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

5 Cups Flour ( I use 00 flour but all purpose is fine)

1 1/2 teaspoons Salt

2 1/4 Cups Warm Water

1 1/2 teaspoons Yeast

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon Sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Add flour and salt to a mixing bowl, whisk together and set aside

2. To the warm water add yeast, sugar and olive oil.. mix with a fork.. let set for a few minutes to let it foam up and for yeast to activate

3. Slowly add water and yeast mixture to flour and salt....mix until incorporated...use your judgement...if too sticky add a little more flour.. if too dry add a little more warm water...

4. Once dough is nice consistency turn onto a floured surface and knead until a nice ball forms...add ball to a greased bowl, cover with a towel and let rest for an hour or 2 or until it doubles in size...punch dough down and it is ready to use as you like!
