{recipe} The Laziest Pizza Dough

Pizza is one of my all time favorite comfort foods.  It s warm, and delicious with a bread-like crust.  I love making homemade pizza, but the whole process especially having to knead the dough sometimes puts me off.  So enter the laziest pizza dough ever, it is super easy, you can pretty much forget about it, it is a no fuss, no kneading required, no more then one bowl, no special tools needed, and it delivers the "breadiest" crust ever - almost like an artisan bread.  You pretty much stir four ingredients together the night before you want pizza, and sit it aside.  It is our new favorite Friday night dinner tradition.

 LAZIEST PIZZA DOUGH:
* makes one 9x13 inch rectangular pizza

1/8 tsp active dry yeast
3 cups whole wheat flour I use King Arthur white whole wheat flour)
1 1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 1/4 cup water (+2 tbsp water if needed)

* I recommend using organic/grass-fed/high quality ingredients from reputable companies when feasible.

Using a sturdy silicone spatula, stir together the active dry yeast, whole wheat flour, celtic sea salt, and water in a large bowl glass bowl .

The dough will be uneven and rough, it feels a little to dry add the 2 tablespoons of water.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside (out of the way in warm spot) and leave it there undisturbed for 20-22 hours.  The dough will rise and double.

When the dough is almost ready prepare the pizza stone with olive oil, and a sprinkle of cornmeal.  Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Lightly flour the counter with flour and scrape the loose soft dough out of the bowl onto the counter.  Stretch the dough out a couple of times by letting it fall onto the counter.  

Using your fingertips (dipped in a little flour) stretch the dough out into desired shape.  Use dough in desired recipe.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Let the pizza rest for 10 minutes.

Serve warm.

Keep the pizza in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
