Hawaiian Pizza (homemade)

Hawaiian Pizza (homemade)

Ingredient For Dough:

1 cup warm water

1 tablespoon dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 tablespoon salt

2 cups of flour

Procedure:

1. In a deep mixing bowl pour the warm water, mix the yeast, lightly stir let it sit for 5-10 minutes until yeast activates and a foam appears. Add salt and sugar.
2. Gradually add flour as you stir the mixture simultaneously until it become too thick to stir.
3. Knead the dough. It is ready when it is glossy and tacky but not sticky; a small amount pinched off can be stretched (by pinching and pulling) thin enough to let the light pass through.
4. Turn the dough out of the bowl onto a clean well-floured surface. A wooden board or clean table is best.If it is very moist or sticky, sprinkle additional flour over the top.
5. Gather the dough into a pile and begin pressing it together. Press the heels of your hands firmly into the dough, pushing forward slightly.
6. Fold the far edge of the dough upwards, towards you and press it in to the middle of the ball. Rotate it slightly, too. Repeat this press-fold-turn sequence for the duration of the kneading process.
7. Let it rise up to 1 hour at room temperature or 5 hours in the refrigerator.
8. Place on the floured counter and flour the top of the dough.
9. Cut the dough into two round balls and repeat the following steps for each piece.
10. Flatten one ball with your hand until about 1 1/2 inches thick.
11. Pick up the disc of dough, and pinch the dough about 1/2 inch from the edge. Try and stretch as you pinch. repeat this all around the edge.
12. When the disc of dough has been stretched enough to start to be floppy, proceed to tossing.
13. Make a fist and drape the dough over your fist.
14. Make a fist of the other hand and slip it under the dough next to your other fist.
15. Carefully move your fists apart stretching the dough more.
16. Shift your fists (left towards your face, right away) so the dough rotates while stretching.
