Saydi's 40 minute pizza dough



So it has been a long time since I have posted anything. I was on the Navajo reservation in May where my diet consisted of grilled cheese, box pancakes, and cereal. Didn't think anyone needed those recipes. Now we are in Salt Lake and having to start cooking again. I got this from my sister-in-law Saydi who is probably one of the best cooks ever.


Surprisingly easy, cheap, and tastes way better than anything you can buy.

1 1/2 cup warm water
1 envelope rapid rise yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt

First off, turn oven to 200 until it heats up and then turn it off. Pour water in mixer. Sprinkle sugar and yeast over the water. Let the yeast sit for minute until foams. Add oil, flour, salt. Mix until dough forms. Slightly oil a glass bowl and put dough in. Put saran wrap over the bowl and put in oven for 40 minutes.

If you want the crust really fluffy, knead with hands. Eli tried it by hand and I used a rolling pin. Mine was good, but mine was more of a thing crust style. His was much more fluffy. Just go with whatever your style is.

Use whatever sauce and toppings you prefer and enjoy!
P.S. We cooked it at 500 for about 10 minutes and the crust turned out to have a perfect crisp to it.
