Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour or spelt flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 105°F to 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the warm water and olive oil to the well.
Step 3
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Step 5
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into equal portions, depending on the size of your pizza (e.g., 2 for medium pizzas, 4 for individual pizzas).
Step 7
Roll out each portion into your desired thickness and shape, adding a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking. If you prefer a thicker crust, allow the rolled-out dough to rest for 15-20 minutes before topping and baking.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone by lightly greasing it or sprinkling it with cornmeal.
Step 9
Top the rolled-out dough with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings. Be careful not to overload the pizza to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade pizza!
