Sherman’s Pizza Dough

Adapted from Sherman's Pizza dough recipe. The original recipe made 20 16-oz dough balls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 1/2 cups bread flour

Method
 

  1. Start with warm water, sugar, yeast, and olive oil in the mixing bowl, and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes so the yeast can activate.
  2. Add flour
  3. Mix until the dough feels smooth but not sticky. DO NOT OVERMIX.
  4. Remove from the mixing bowl, place the dough in a bowl sprayed with pan spray, and let it rise for 30-45 minutes. Cover the dough with a towel to keep it from drying.
  5. Remove from the bowl and place on a hard surface for cutting. Spray with pan spray to keep the dough from sticking to the cutting surface, then cut it into the needed sizes.
