Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Gradually stir in flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to combine.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- After rising, punch down the dough and divide it into portions based on desired pizza size. Roll out into your chosen shape.
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Transfer rolled-out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Top with sauce, cheese, and desired toppings before baking for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
