====== Dad's Pizza Dough ======

This is the tried and true pizza dough recipe that my dad has been making since I was a child.  It is quite versatile and can be used for pizzas, calzones, and stromboli.

Here’s the dough recipe. Insert the ingredients in this order.

===== Ingredients =====


**Dads recipe - By Volume**
  * 2 tsp yeast 
  * 3 cups flour
  * 1 tablespoon sugar 
  * 1 tsp salt
  * 2 tablespoons olive oil
  * About 1 cup warm water

**By Weight**
  * 400g flour
  * 240g water
  * 20g sugar
  * 20g olive oil
  * 5g salt
  * 6g yeast

===== Instructions =====

  - Use the dough hook and start the mixer on its lowest setting.  Once a dough ball forms if it’s too wet and starts to stick on the bottom of the mixing bowl add more flour.  If it’s too dry and won’t form into a ball add a touch more water.  I rarely get this right from the start.  Turn the mixer up and let it beat the ball.  Sometimes you have to stop the mixer and use a spatula to press the dough ball around the hook so it will knead it properly.
  - Turn the oven on 350 for about one minute and turn it off.  Cover the bowl of dough with a towel and put it in the oven.
  - This can be done anytime between 1 PM and 3 PM just need a couple of hours for the dough to rise.
  - That’s it!
