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.
