2 2 1 1

So my endeavours in the land of pizza have been changing over time, for faster and more efficiency dough making. Not that i don't like kneading, cos actually i do but there is something about whipping up pizza dough in a couple of minutes which is very appealing. So I've reached a nice recipe which will be my goto for quick pizza fixes.

2 2 1 1

2 cups of flour
2 tablespoons of salt
1 cup of warm water
1 tablespoon of sugar.

1. combine flour and salt
2. combine water sugar and of course yeast which i didnt include but no yeast no pizza
3. Let yeast activate then pour slowly into flour and combine slowly.
4. Keep doing this until dough reaches a thick and sticky consistency, too runny add more flour, looks dry and not coming together add more water. add some olive oil as well if you like =)
5. Sit on countertop for 16-24hrs.
6. Resize into individual 4 dough balls and coat in olive oil and stick in freezer. Leave one which you gently fold once or twice and let sit for 30 minutes.
7. Use to make awesome pizza!
