Printable Recipe Pizza Dough

• 3 3/4 cups Hi-Gluten Four
• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water, enough to make a smooth, soft dough
• 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning (optional)

Mix together all the ingredients except the water in a food processor, mixer or bread machine (or of course you could do it by hand) add water and process until it is well mixed and smooth (you may need a little more or less).

Allow to rise in a covered, oiled bowl for 1 hour or wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days. If refrigerated, let it come to room temperature when you’re ready to use.

Shape the dough to the thickness you like. It makes a great thin, almost cracker like crust or flatbread.

Cover the dough while you preheat the oven and a pizza stone if you have one to the highest setting your oven allows.

Add your pizza toppings, or if making flatbread, brush it with plain, garlic or herb flavored oil and seeds or shredded cheese.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the crust is crisp and the toppings (for pizza) are cooked.
