Pizza Dough

My favorite Pizza Dough:

Ingredients:
3 C flour
1 C warm water
1 packet yeast (2 1/4 t.)
3 T olive oil, plus a few drops for the bowl
2 T sugar
1 T salt

Mix 1 cup of warm water with yeast, sugar and 1/2 cup of flour.  Let the yeast bloom for 20 minutes until frothy.  Then pour in the olive oil.  In a large bowl combine the flour and salt, reserving 1/2 a cup of the flour.  Mix the wet and dry ingredients together.  The dough will be tacky but not sticky, as you kneed the dough add the reserved flour a little at a time if the dough is too sticky.  Kneed the dough together for 10 minutes, adding the reserved flour as needed.  I usually need about 1/4 cup of the reserved flour.   I keep the remaining 1/4 of flour to use on  my pizza stone to keep the dough from sticking.

Let the dough rest in an oiled bowl and place in the warmest place in your kitchen.  Cover with a slightly damp tea towel and let rest for an hour.  Then you're ready to rock.
