Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • 1 pkg instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cups cold water
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 3-4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the yeast over 1/3 cup of warm water in a large bowl
  • Stir in the sugar and let it stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Combine together in a medium bowl: cold water, oil, salt, garlic salt, oregano, and 1/2 of the flour.
  • Add this mixture to your yeast mixture.
  • Add the rest of the flour.
  • Knead the dough by hand or with a handheld mixer until it is smooth. This takes roughly 3-5 minutes. I recommend doing this on a floured surface so your dough doesn't stick to the work surface.
  • Let the pizza dough rise until it doubles in size. Usually takes 1-1 1/2 hours.
    Makes 2-3 pizza crusts depending on your desired crust thickness
