Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups flour and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour.
  4. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, shape for your pizza, and add your toppings.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Notes

For perfect rising, keep the dough in a warm, draft-free area. Use enough flour while kneading to prevent sticking, but avoid too much flour that can dry it out. You can add herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavor.
