Ingredients

  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 oz package of active dry yeast
  • 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour (preferably organic)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the maple syrup and yeast in 3/4 cup warm water (100-110 degrees F). Let stand for 7-8 minutes.
  • Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Dough will feel slightly sticky.
  • Place dough in a large bowl coated with olive oil, turning to coat the top. Cover with a towel and let rise in a draft-free spot until double in size, approximately 30-40 minutes.
  • Punch down the dough and roll into a 10-12 inch circle on a lightly greased pizza pan. Add your favorite toppings and bake at 475 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
