Tyler Florence Pizza Dough

You rich women just head on over to Whole Foods or Liberty Heights Fresh but for the rest of you here's a pizza dough recipe that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Good if thats what you like-but seriously who doesn't? I may not have been paying attention when I added the salt and added to much or the recipe is just salty but my point is the recipe is salty so either don't add salt to your sauce or don't add the full tablespoon.
1 packet of yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 c. warm water
1 T kosher salt
olive oil
3 c. flour (plus more)
Combine yeast, sugar, and water in a mixer. Stir gently to dissolve and let stand 5-10 minutes.
Put on mixer on low-add salt and 2 T olive oil. Add flour-a little at a time until flour is incorporated. Increase speed to medium. If dough's crumbly add more water. If its sticky add more flour (1 T at a time). You don't want the dough to stick to your hand. Mix till it gathers into a ball (about 5 min.)
Knead dough until its smooth and elastic (I did this in my Bosch). Put dough in well oiled bowl and let rise (about 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 500.
Stretch dough out and divide into 3 pieces. Cover and let rise about 10 more minutes so its easier to work with.
Cover dough with olive oil and toppings. Bake 12-15 minutes.

Did you use Kosher salt? If not, regular salt is saltier than Kosher. I assume that you used Kosher!!!

I looked on the reviews online and most people said it was too salty so I am assuming it was a typo. Other pizza dough recipes I looked up had 1 t salt so I made it with 1 tsp and it tasted a lot better.

The cookbook this recipe is in calls for 1Tbsp so it's not a typo. I'm a fan of salt though...
