Steps to Success :
Stir together your water and sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top . Leave it for 10 minutes until it ’ s all bubbly . Add the oil , salt , vinegar and 2 cups of flour until well incorporated . Add additional flour and knead until pliable , stretchy and barely sticky . It shouldn ’ t make you go “ Ew !” when you touch it . Move your dough to a greased bowl and cover . Let your dough rise for an hour or until it has doubled in size . Once it has doubled , punch it down and divide it into the portions you need . I personally made a few smaller pizzas with this as opposed to 2 super large ones .
Roll and stretch each piece of dough until it reaches your desired thickness and size . You can easily use a regular ungreased baking sheet .
Coat your dough with pizza sauce and toppings of your choice . Bake at 250 degrees Celsius for 10-12 minutes or until browned and bubbly . It all depends on your oven .
You can also use the amount of dough you need and freeze the rest of the dough . Grease the inside of a freezer bag , put the rest of your dough in and make sure it ’ s sealed . Next time you come to use it , take it out in the morning or allow it to thaw at room temperature before attempting to roll it out .
