Steps:
- Pulse yeast, salt, and 1 2/3 cups flour in a food processor until combined. With the motor running, add 3/4 cup 100°F-110°F water and process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; it should look slightly shaggy and stick to the counter (if dough is too dry, add more warm water by the teaspoonful until tacky). Knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Divide into 2 balls (each will make a 12-14" pizza).
- Transfer balls to separate large resealable containers or bags. Chill at least overnight and up to 2 days.
- Do Ahead
- Dough can be made 3 months ahead; tightly wrap balls in plastic and freeze.

Steps:
- Add the yeast and water to a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Allow the yeast to dissolve until it is incorporated into the water, about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, salt and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Stir the mixture with a spoon until until the dough forms a ball, or place all the ingredients in a food processor until the dough forms a ball. After a few seconds of mixing or processing, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it is too sticky, add a bit more flour and process for another minute.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes, adding enough additional flour if necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Dough should not be sticky. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled 2 or 3 quart bowl and turn to coat dough with oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, usually at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F and if you have one, place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Divide dough into 2 portions (for 2 (12-inch) pizzas) and form into balls. (See note below for calzones.) Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a lightly floured surface, shape as desired and roll out to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Transfer dough to a pizza peel and top with toppings of choice. Transfer to the preheated pizza stone and bake until crispy and golden brown, usually 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the toppings). Remove from the oven with a metal peel or spatula and serve immediately.
- Note: For calzones, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and form into 4 balls. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll out into 4 6-inch circles. Place filling of choice in the center of one side of each circle, then fold dough over filling to meet edges of filled side. Crimp edges with a fork or your fingers, then cut a small slit in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape while cooking. Cook on a preheated pizza stone in a preheated 475 degree oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until well-browned. Remove from the oven with a metal peel or spatula and serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a food processor, combine flour, yeast, olive oil, and salt.
- With the food processor on, slowly (over 30 seconds) start pouring in 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of warm water. Stop adding water when the dough form a single ball. If you add too much water and the dough gets sticky, just add a bit more flour.
- Leave the food processor on for about 10 more seconds to knead the dough a bit. Place the dough ball in a floured bowl, cover it with a towel, and allow it to rise for about an hour.
- After an hour, reform the risen dough into a ball. Divide it into four equal parts and either freeze it or allow it to relax for immediate use.
- To freeze: Place each dough ball in a zip-top bag and put in the freezer. The morning that you are going to use the dough, remove it from the freezer and place it in the fridge to thaw. About 30 minutes before making the pizza, take it out of the baggie and allow it to relax on the counter, covered with plastic wrap.
- To use immediately: Cover each dough ball with plastic wrap, and let them sit on the counter for another 30 minutes to relax.
- To stretch the dough, gently press it out on the counter into a circle shape, about half the size of the final pizza. Then drape the dough over both of your knuckles and rotate it around, allowing it to stretch itself to a larger circle, about 10 inches in diameter. If the dough starts to resist stretching, put it down and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes, at which point it will stretch more easily.

CUISINART FOOD PROCESSOR PIZZA DOUGH
I have been trying many pizza recipes over the past 19 years and this one is the best. I got this recipe from my Cuisinart food processor cook book.The main part of the preparation time is the rising of the dough. Otherwise it is very easy and delicious. I will never buy commercial pizza again.

Tips:
- Use a food processor with a dough blade. This will make it easy to mix and knead the dough.
- Add the ingredients in the correct order. The order of the ingredients is important for the dough to come together properly.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Let the dough rest before using it. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet for the best results. A pizza stone will give you a crispy crust, while a baking sheet will give you a softer crust.
- Top the pizza with your favorite toppings. The possibilities are endless!
Conclusion:
Making pizza dough in a food processor is quick and easy, and it's a great way to get a delicious, homemade pizza. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a fresh, hot pizza that the whole family will love.
