What’s in my freezer? Pizza dough

This thick-crust recipe has produced countless numbers of pizzas for kibbutz children where we used to live.  It is therefore as durable and foolproof as a recipe can be.

Ingredients

5 cups flour

4 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons sugar

8 teaspoons dried yeast

Directions
