Italian Pizza Dough

 My home-made Italian pizza dough ; I made it 5 to 6 times a week.

Ingredients:

2 ½ teaspoons 0f active dry yeast

2 teaspoon of white sugar

2 cup of lukewarm water

2 cups sifted all purpose flour

2 teaspoon of salt

3 tablespoons of olive oil

2 eggs, beaten

Directions:

Step 1:

Stir the yeast and the sugar into lukewarm water, by using a fork. Let the stand in a warm place until a creamy layer forms on top of the water, about 25 minute.

Step 2:

Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix olive oil into flour and stir it for 3 minutes. Pour yeast mixture and beaten egg into the flour mixture and stir to make a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surfaces and knead until springy and smooth, about 8 minutes. Place the dough into a floured bowl and cover with a piece of ( plastic ) wrap the wiped with a thin film of olive oil.

Step 3:

Let the dough rise until doubled, about 45 mints. Punch down and roll out it to desired shapes.
