Best Ever Pizza Dough

Ingredients
1 package active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)

1 cup warm water (100° to 110°)

1 1/4 cups cold water

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt
26 1/10 ounces (about 5 1/2 cups) unbleached bread flour, divided

Cooking spray


Preparation

1. Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Combine 1 1/4 cups cold water, oil, sugar, and salt in a small bowl; stir with a whisk.

2. Weigh or lightly spoon 24.9 ounces (about 5 1/4 cups) flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, yeast mixture, and cold water mixture in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low 8 minutes or until dough begins to form. Let rest 2 minutes; mix on low 6 minutes or until dough is smooth. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 2 minutes); add enough of the remaining 1.19 ounces (about 1/4 cup) flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky).

3. Divide the dough in half, and place each portion in a large zip-top bag coated with cooking spray. Seal and chill overnight or up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before using.

Note: You can freeze the dough in heavy-duty, freezer-safe zip-top plastic bags for up to 2 months; thaw dough overnight in the refrigerator.

1/3 head cabbage, shredded
1 tsp. dried sweet basil
1/4 cup minced parsley

Shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook bacon and set aside. Saute garlic and onion in oil until golden, stirring continuously. Add beef broth and vegetables and basil. Simmer until vegetables are tender (about 30 min.). Add Bean with Bacon soup and crumbled bacon and let cook for another 10 min. Serve with shredded Parmesan cheese and crusty bread.

*I put the cheese in the bowl and then ladle soup over it so it melts.
