Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms. Then, transfer the dough to a floured surface.
Step 4
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Step 5
Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap.
Step 6
Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion and use as the base for your homemade pizza.
