Pizza Dough
1 envelope Active Dry Yeast
1/2 cup Warm Water
4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1-1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup Cold Water
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Méthode:
Combine the yeast and 1/4 cup of warm water, let stand in a warm place until frothy (around 10 minutes). Sift together 1 cup of flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour. Add the remaining warm water (1/4 cup), the cold water and oil to the yeast mixture. Pour this mixture into the well. Gradually stir the flour into the liquid until it is absorbed. Sift 2 cups of flour then combine with the above product. Once the dough becomes to stiff to stir, form it into a ball. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough with your knickles for 8-10 minutes, sifting the remaining flouras needed into the ball, until the dough is silky and elastic. Transfer the dough unto a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 1-2 hours. Remove the dough from the bowl, place on a flour dusted cutting board, punching it down and knead the dough with your knuckles for 5-6 minutes then cut into 8 pieces and form into circles.
