Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

our SE, who art in japan, hallowed be they games;
thy final fantasy come, thy dragon quest be done, on gaea as it is in the lifestream;
give us this day our daily leves, and forgive us for not leve-sharing, as we forgive those who do not leve-share with us;
and lead us not into bad abyssea parties, but deliver us from noobs;
for thine is the franchise, the series, and those other games, forever and ever,

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup luke warm water
2 cups flour (I just use general purpose flour)

Put the water in a large bowl along with the sugar and the yeast and whisk, let it sit for 10 mins to make sure the yeast is good (in 10 mins if there's bubbles and froth on top, you're good to go) then whisk in the oil and salt. Next sift in 1 cup of flour into the mix, I use a spatula to fold it in, after it's mixed in well, sift the second cup into it and fold in until the dough is firm enough to work with your hands, get rid of the spatula and start working in the rest of the flour that wouldn't just fold in.

Once it's all worked in, then you start kneading it for about 15 mins, after that, make it into a ball (use fingers to "roll" the sides up into the bottom, hard to explain) put it in a bowl, drizzle a bit of olive oil over it and spread it on, doesn't need to be a lot just enoughf or a thin coating, cover with plastic wrap or a towel (I use both, the wrap to keep the air out and the towel to make sure it stays in place) and put it somewhere warm for about 45 mins to an hour and a half (until it doubles in size) then punch it down, (if you're going to split it nows the time, roll it in a ball again like you did before and section it up, that pizza is exactly one half of this recipe) and throw it in the fridge for an hour or so (makes the dough easier to work with)
