Basic Square Pan Pizza Dough Recipe (Sicilian-Style Dough) includes 17.5 ounces (500 grams, about 3 1/2 cups) all-purpose or bread flour, .35 ounces (10 grams, about 2 teaspoons) kosher salt, .18 ounces (5 grams, about 1 teaspoon) instant or RapidRise yeast, 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided, 12.25 ounces (347 grams, about 1 1/2 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons) water, room temperature, Get a Pizza Stone.
