Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.

Step 3

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly grease a clean bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 6

Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

Step 9

Roll out the dough to your preferred thickness and shape, making sure it is even throughout.

Step 10

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone, then add your desired sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
