Directions

1. To make the pizza dough, in a glass measuring cup or small bowl, combine yeast and 1 cup warm water. Add a pinch of sugar and let sit for 5 minutes.
2. In the bowl of a KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, add the flour and salt. Mix the ingredients until combined. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Next, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Using the beater blade, mix until combined. Switch to the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes on medium speed or until dough is silky and smooth.
3. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Form the dough into a ball and place in the bowl. Cover the pizza dough with a damp towel and set in the KitchenAid® Warming Drawer, set on the bread proof setting. Let the dough rise for 45-60 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
