Ingredients

- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 ½ cup all purpose flour

- Cover, not airtight, and let sit at room temperature for about 2 hours, until the dough rises and then flattens on top.

Notes
Note - this makes enough for 4 pizzas. You can easily cut the recipe in half if you want to only have enough to make a couple of pizzas.
On the day you are going to make pizza, bring the dough out of the fridge. Dust the surface of the dough with some flour and pull off a one pound chunk (using a serrated knife or kitchen shears), this is about grapefruit size. Put the rest of the dough back in the fridge to be used another day. Using floured hands quickly shape into a ball and then roll out, just like you roll any other pizza dough. Using flour when needed to keep it from sticking. There is no need for it to rest, you can proceed directly with your pizza recipe!
I usually bake my pizzas in a hot 500 degree oven on a pizza stone for 8-10 minutes.
