Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 325 milliliters Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 10 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, indicating the yeast is activated.
Step 2
Add the olive oil, salt, and about half of the flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough begins to form.
Step 3
Gradually add the remaining flour, a little at a time, while mixing until the dough comes together into a rough ball. It should be slightly sticky but still manageable.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by hand for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
Place the dough in a clean bowl lightly greased with olive oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions for thinner crusts, or keep it as one for a thicker crust. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Step 8
Roll out the dough on parchment paper to your desired thickness. Add your favorite sauce, toppings, and cheese.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute or two, slice, and enjoy!
