Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough begins to come together.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour, a little at a time, kneading the dough as you go. Knead for about 3-5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 6

On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness. For a crispier crust, roll it thin; for a chewier crust, leave it thicker.

Step 7

Lightly dust a piece of parchment paper with cornmeal and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it. This will help prevent sticking.

Step 8

Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings to the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
