Ingredients
- 2¼ teaspoon active dry yeast 1 package
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ cup water 110 - 120°F, warm
- 1 cup semolina flour plus 2 tbsp
- 1 cup plus 3 tbsp all-purpose flour plus 7 tbsp, plus more for your work surface
- 1¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for the bowl
- cooking spray
Instructions
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes. It should foam a little and show gas bubbles, if it doesn't, the yeast is dead and you'll need to start again with fresh yeast.
- In a food processor, combine the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Whisk the olive oil into the yeast/sugar mixture.
- With the motor running, add the yeast mixture in a steady stream and then pulse until the dough comes together in a rough mass.
- Process the dough again a few times.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and form it into a smooth ball.
- Place the dough in a large oiled bowl, turn the dough to coat with oil, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size and looks spongy, about 2 hours.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, gently punch it down, and shape it into a smooth cylinder.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a smooth ball, dusting with flour only if the dough becomes sticky.
- Cover both balls of dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with your pizza recipe.
- (You can freeze the balls of dough in gallon-size zipper lock bag, being sure to squeeze as much of the air as possible out of the bag, for up to 2 months. Thaw the frozen dough for 3 to 4 hours at room temp.).
