Rustic Pizza Dough Recipe

Directions:

1. In a 1 cup measuring cup or bowl, stir yeast into water. Set aside for 10 mins, or until foamy. Stir
2. Add yeast mixture to flour and salt in a large bowl and knead until dough is combined.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pick up dough and throw it down hard 8 or 9 times, using scraper to scrape up any stuck to the surface. Knead several times, dusting with a little flour at this point if dough is still too sticky to handle, and throw down again 8 or 9 times, continuing throwing and kneading until smooth and no longer sticky, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Lightly oil dough and place in a bowl with high sides. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temp for at least an hour, or until double. You may also refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Do not punch down.
5. With floured hands, gently pull dough down from sides of bowl, remove, and slice into equal sections. Use immediately or wrap each section well in plastic wrap (leaving enough room for expansion) place in refrigerate for up to 4 days.
