Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp yeast

  • 3 1/4 cups AP flour

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 1/4 cup luke warm water

Directions

  • add to a bread machine in that order and let it go through one cycle.
  • Then, I put the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel.
  • Heat your oven to 450 F, that’s 232 C for you, with the DO in the oven.
  • Once the oven came to temp, I let it go 10 more minutes to get the DO nice and hot. If your DO is not well seasoned, maybe add a little oil before heating.
  • When ready, I drizzled a bit of olive oil on my hands, formed the dough into a nice ball, then placed in the DO and covered with the lid.
  • Bake 30 minutes, remove the lid, bake 15-20 more minutes.
  • Cool on rack.

Notes

  • I used a 5 quart DO.
  • I see pepperoni and cheese making its way into a future batch.
