Favorite Pizza Dough

5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons sea salt or Kosher salt

1 teaspoon active dry yeast1

1 ¾ cups cold water

1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

In a standing mixer with a dough hook, mix the flour, salt, and yeast.  Add the water and mix on low speed for about 4 minutes, or until the mixture forms a ball.  Let dough rest for 5 minutes.  Turn on the machine and mix again for 2 minutes on medium speed, or until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides or bottom of the bowl.  If it is still very sticky you may need to add a touch more flour

Remove the dough from the machine and place on a well-floured work surface.  Shape the dough into a smooth ball.

Place the olive oil in a large bowl.  Add the dough ball and coat on all sides.  Cover with plastic wrap and place in a dry warm spot in your kitchen for 30 minutes.  Place in the refrigerator overnight.

Bring to room temperature before shaping to a pizza.  Roll out, top with your favorite toppings

Bake at 475 to 500 degrees.
