Food Processor Pizza Dough

If you have a food processor, this recipe from The Minimalist Cooks Dinner is quite good and easily makes two medium pizzas or 1 large one, depending on how thick/thin you like your crust. Allow about an hour for the dough. Get all the toppings and sauce and cheese ready while the dough is rising and allow another 20 minutes to bake the pizza.

Ingredients

3 cups flour
2 tsp instant yeast
2 tsp kosher salt or 1 tsp table salt
2 Tbs olive oil
1 cup water, plus more if needed

Instructions

n your food processor, mix together the flour, yeast, and salt. Add oil and 1 cup of water and mix about 30 seconds, adding up to 1/4 cup more water if needed. The dough should be just a bit tacky/sticky. (if it's too moist , add more flour. Too dry, add more water.)
Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead a few minutes. Put in a bowl, cover with a towel, and put in a warm place to rise until doubled, about an hour. (Note: If you're in a hurry, you can cut this short. I have many times!) The dough will just be a bit flatter.)

Notes

If you like, you can do this in the morning and let it rise in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, so it's ready at dinner time.
