Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the dry active yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough starts to form.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky, but avoid adding too much.

Step 6

Lightly oil a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough into the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with the oil.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.

Step 8

Punch the dough down to release excess air and transfer it onto a floured surface.

Step 9

Divide the dough into two equal portions for two medium pizzas or leave as one portion for a large pizza.

Step 10

Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or stretch it with your hands until it reaches your desired thickness and shape. Place the dough on a pizza pan or preheated pizza stone.

Step 11

Top with your preferred pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Step 12

Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
