Pizza Dough and Tomato Sauce
2¼ tspactive dry yeast (one 1¼ ounce pack)440 gramall-purpose flour345 gramflour (antimo caputo pasta 00 flour)¼ cupextra-virgin olive oil2½ cupswater1⅓ tbspsugar1 tbspkosher salt (or to taste)
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the yeast and flours. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the oil. Add the water and mix until combined. The dough will be quite wet.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes with the mixer by continuing to let it run. Sprinkle the sugar and salt on top of the dough and continue to knead vigorously for 1 minute, or until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape each chunk into a ball. Lightly flour a baking sheet. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet. Sprinkle more flour over the top and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit at room temperature for 1 hour or until double in size. The dough can be used at this point, but will only improve by spending the night in the refrigerator.
