Homemade Pizza Dough

2 1/4 teaspoon Yeast
4 cups Flour
1/2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt (+ a pinch)
1 1/2 cups lukewarm Water

Add yeast, bread flour, kosher salt, and water to a large bowl.  Set timer for 5 minutes and 30 seconds.  Immediately, stir dough mixture with a fork until it cleans the sides of the bowl.  Gather up all dough pieces and knead on a lightly floured surface till your timer goes off.

Shape into a ball. Place ball back in large bowl and drizzle some Olive Oil on top. With your hand spread in over the whole ball of dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Transfer to a lightly floured surface and divide the dough in half.

You can either bake the Pizza now or place the dough in zip lock bags.  Make sure all the air is squeezed out of the bags.  Store in Fridge for up to a week.

Notes:
- Before putting dough in the freezer, be sure to transfer the fresh dough to an air tight container . The dough will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months

- To thaw frozen dough quickly: leave dough out
on the counter for at least 2 hours. This will allow the dough to thaw all the way through and come to room temp.
