Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups 00 flour
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 envelope or 2 1/4 tsp yeast
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water about 110 degrees
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flours, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine.
  • While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes. Otherwise, if you want to make individual pizzas, divide into 6-8 dough balls to rise.
