Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Step 3
Gradually pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Form the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas, or keep it whole for one large pizza.
Step 7
Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Add your favorite toppings and preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Step 9
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
