Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Once risen, punch the dough down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal portions if making two small pizzas.
Step 7
Roll each portion into a round, even shape about 1/4 inch thick, pinching the edges to form a crust.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper, add desired dairy-free toppings, and slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or sheet.
Step 10
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing, and serve hot.
