Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Extra flour (for kneading and rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough begins to form.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. Add small amounts of the extra flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, and cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and, if using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 7

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a floured pizza peel for easy transfer to the oven.

Step 8

Add your favorite pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese. Be careful not to overload the dough, as this can make it harder to bake evenly.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. If using a pizza stone, transfer the pizza directly onto the preheated stone for a crispier crust.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve. Enjoy your fabulous homemade pizza!
