Notes:
"00" flour also called "tipo 00" is a finely milled Italian flour favored for making pizza dough. If you substitute all-purpose flour for the "00" flour, you might need a little more water. Find "00" flour at Italian markets or specialty foods stores.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 packages - active dry yeast (about 2-1/4 teaspoons)
- 3/4 cups - warm water (105° to 115°)
- 2 tablespoons - extra virgin olive oil plus extra for the bowl
- 1 cups - "00" flour plus more for dusting
- 1 cups - all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons - sugar
- 1 teaspoons - kosher salt
Directions:
In a small bowl, stir the yeast, warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil; let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes.
In a food processor fitted with plastic dough blade, pulse the flours, sugar and salt a few times (or mix together in a mixer bowl). With the machine running, stream in the yeast mixture to form a sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a "00"-floured surface and knead just until smooth, a minute or so. (Or knead in the mixer, if using, for a minute or two, before turning out of mixer bowl).
Oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with a kitchen towel; let rise for 1 hour.
Using a bench scraper, cut the dough into 4 pieces. Knead each piece a few turns on a "00"-floured surface, then roll out into 10- to 12-inch rounds.
Place on a "00"-floured pizza peel for topping and baking.
If you want to make dough ahead, wrap and refrigerate or freeze the 4 pieces of dough. Thaw the frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight, and let refrigerated dough come to room temperature for 40-45 minutes before using.
