Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water (105–110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the warm water and olive oil to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Step 3
On a clean, lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and knead for about 5–7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook attachment in a stand mixer for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax and makes it easier to roll out.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
Step 6
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and thickness. Transfer it to a pizza pan or parchment paper if not using a stone.
Step 7
Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Step 8
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for 2–3 minutes, then slice and serve.
