Pizza Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 to 2 1/4 c. unbleached white flour
2 1/2 tsp. instant yeast
1/2 tsp. sweetener of choice
2/3 c. hot water
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of flour, yeast, sweetener and hot water.
Stir in the oil, 1 1/4 cups of remaining flour and salt.
Blend the mixture until it forms a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface, incorporating as much of the remaining 1/4 cup flour as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
