INGREDIENTS

• Half a package (1 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 105°F)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour or bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

• In a small bowl dissolve yeast in the warm water and let proof 5 minutes. Stir in olive oil. In a large bowl combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and stir until dough just barely holds together.
• Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until soft and silky, adding a little more flour if necessary. Put dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat surface with oil. Cover bowl with plastic and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Use dough in any pizza.
• Makes enough dough for 12 to 15 cocktail wedges or 20 to 24 small squares.
