Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Warm Water
  • 4-4 1/2 cups Hard White Wheat Flour
  • 4 tsp Instant Yeast
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cornmeal

Equipment

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine water and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Let rise for about 20 minutes for the gluten to develop.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast on top a mix. Add the oil and the salt.
  3. Knead dough until smooth and elastic. This usually takes about five minutes.
  4. Cover tightly with plastic or beeswax wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours, up to three days.
Making the Pizza
  1. Bring dough to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Divide dough into half. Sprinkle iron skillet or pan with a dusting of cornmeal.
  4. Roll dough out on a flour surface In the shape of your pan you are using. Press the dough into your iron skillet and push it up the sides of the skillet. Do the same if you are using a baking stone or any pan.
  5. Add your toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Tip: Take half the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place it in a ziploc bag and it can go in the freezer for 1-2 months.
If you have a thicker crust, I'd pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes to assure that the dough will be done. Pull it out of the oven and then add your toppings. Bake according to the directions above.
