Jay's Signature Pizza Crust Crispy and Chewy Jay's Signature Hand-Tossed Pizza Crust Ingredients: 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F / 45°C) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt Directions: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion out to your desired pizza crust thickness. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Add toppings of your choice and bake pizzas on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden and crisp.
