Joes Awesome Pizza Dough

An awesome pizza dough recipe that is damn close to Pizza Huts Pan dough.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 8
• Yields: 2 14 inch pizzas

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 1  packet  instant dry yeast
• 2  teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 1⁄2 cups hot water (110 degrees)
• 2  tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Combine the bread flour, 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. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
2. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with 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.
