Easy Pizza Dough

Easy Pizza Dough

1/4 ounce pkg dry active yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

2/3 cups water, warmed to 110-115 degrees (F)

1/4 cup canola oil

2 cups all-purpose flour

We made this in our Ninja Kitchen System we purchased from Costco.  We used the 40 oz. pitcher and dough blade.  We made 2 batches for our family and it made 7-8 individual pizzas.  Place the yeast, salt, sugar and water in the bowl.  Pulse on level 1 for 10 seconds.  Add the oil and flour, 1 cup at a time, pulsing on level 1 until the dough is smooth and no lumps remain.  Transfer the dough to a lightly-oiled bowl and cover.  Let rise for about 1 hour.  Spread the dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.  Add sauce and toppings as preferred and bake at 425 degrees (F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the toppings and cheese are hot. I would start checking the pizza around 18 minutes depending on how your oven cooks.
