Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Warm water (approximately 110°F/43°C)
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (plus extra for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until the dough begins to come together.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a small amount of flour as needed.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large, clean bowl with olive oil. Place the dough inside, turning it to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 7

Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide the dough in half for two pizzas, or keep it whole for one large pizza.

Step 9

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface or stretch it with your hands to your desired thickness and shape.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare your pizza toppings.

Step 11

Place the dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Step 12

Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve. Enjoy your homemade pizza made with Redroadhome's Pizza Dough!
