Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Make the Dough: Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place it on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake: Add your favorite pizza toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For a thicker crust, let the dough rise for a little longer before shaping.
- If you like a crispier crust, roll the dough thinner.
- You can also store the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before using.
