Of course you can buy pizza dough already made at the store – but why would you when it’s this easy and can be made in a food processor? And whether it’s for a pizza, calzone or simply a doughy bread for the grill – it’s the best.
2 to 2 1/2 cups unsifted, all-purpose flour
One 1/4 oz packet instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
3/4 cup warm water, between about 110 and 120 degrees F
1 tablespoon olive oil
With the 'S' blade in place, put 2 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar, garlic powder and salt in the bowl of a food processor - pulse a couple times
Add the warm water and the oil - process until a soft dough forms
If it's still sticky, add extra flour a few tablespoons at a time and process
Take out of processor, shape into a ball, put into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until approx doubled in size, about an hour
Then shape and use as normal
