Both of these dough recipes sound delicious
Pizza Dough Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¾ cup warm water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1️⃣ Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
3️⃣ Combine & Knead: Add the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough begins to form. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4️⃣ Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
5️⃣ Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. For a thin crust, divide it into 2 portions; for a thick crust, use the entire dough. Roll it out to your desired thickness on a floured surface.
6️⃣ Prepare for Baking: Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
7️⃣ Bake the Pizza: Add your favorite toppings and bake on the bottom rack for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Donut Dough Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 pack rapid-rise yeast
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup warm milk
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 4½ cups flour

3️⃣ First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
4️⃣ Shape the Donuts: Once risen, divide the dough into two parts. Lightly flour your surface, roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness, and cut using a donut cutter. Repeat with remaining dough.
