"This is the dough that will be used throughout this cookbook and in my house for grilled pizza. It is a wonderful dough! Easy to make and handle. Freezes well for future use, and tastes so good!! The nature of the dough is critical to success. It must be tacky, though not sticky. And for the best flavor, you MUST coat the dough balls with olive oil."

Ready In:: 1hr 5mins
Ingredients:: 6
Yields:: 6 1/2 oz. balls
Serves:: 6

ingredients

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt (or 3 1/2 tsp. kosher salt)
1 teaspoon yeast
3 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ³⁄₄ cups water, room temperature

directions

In a large bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, 1 1/2 Tbs olive oil and the water with a big spoon until combined.
Fit the mixer with the dough hook and mix on low speed for about 4 min, or until the dough forms a coarse ball and clears the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Add more flour or water by the Tbs as needed.
Let the dough rest for 15 min, then mix again on medium-low speed for an additional 2-4 min, or until the dough is smooth, supple and tacky, but not sticky.
Immediately divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
Gently round each piece into a ball and brush or rub each ball with olive oil.
Place each ball inside its own zippered freezer bad, and drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil over the ball in each bag.
Seal the bags closed and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minute.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
Remove the balls from the refrigerator 2 hours before you plan to roll them out to take the chill off and to relax the gluten.
Any balls you do not use can be frozen for up to 3 months, or kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

My name is Robin, and welcome to my about me page. I will try to be as brief as possible, but I tend to be long winded. If you get bored at anytime, feel free to move on...I won't be offended. I was born in the great city of New Orleans, but have had the pleasure of travelling and living all over the place. My parents moved to Lafayette, Louisiana when I started high school. After high school, I was a nanny and lived in England (London). I miss it A LOT!! England, not the being a nanny part. I lived and got married in California (Los Angeles), but we moved back to Lafayette to be closer to family. Well, to make a long story short, things didn't work out and we got a D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!! After that, I packed up and moved to Texas (Beaumont). I met the love of my life (Toby) on-line - believe it or not - and he whisked me away to Kentucky (Louisville). Which is where I lay my head and call home now. I absolutely love it here!! I love having seasons!! The trees changing colors in Fall and snow in the Winter, along with a BEAUTIFUL Spring and HOT Summer!! We live in the house Toby grew up in, and are about to start doing some MUCH needed renovations! (I DEMAND A BIGGER KITCHEN!!) I have recently (this past year) started growing my own herbs. I threw in a few tomato plants for good measure :D. Now I have the bug!! I want more more MORE!! So Toby has so lovingly decided to make me an actual garden. This way I can grow all sorts of fun stuff!! I can't wait!! I love fresh home grown veggies and stuff!! And NOTHING beats fresh herbs!!! Toby has a son (Zach, 11) from a previous marriage. I guess that would make me the wicked stepmom.....I hope not!!! We also have in our lovely family 2 dogs (Daisy, a Cockapoo who runs the house and Missy, a Black Lab), a cat (Mystery), and a ferret (Flower). I am a stay at home stepmom (that is my job), so I have all day to cook and look up different recipes. I LOVE it!! I have figured out that I can cook twice as much if I give half of what I cook away....LOL!! This means Toby's business partner and his wife eat just as well as we do!! They have told me on many occasions, that if I can't take Toby anymore they will add on to their house to make room for me. All I have to do is cook!! LOL!! My parents are foodies and I TOTALLY blame them for my passion for food!! I will try anything once. I have found that I really do like some things I "thought" I hated. Although, I do still HATE (green)peas!! Here is my rating key for reviews: ***** = HEAVEN - I would not change a thing!! **** = Was VERY good, but would make a few changes *** = Not a bad recipe, but would make quite a few changes if I made it again ** = Would have to make a lot of changes to enjoy * = Didn't enjoy it at all, and will probably not make again.
