Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1 packet instant yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Kitchen towel or plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Pour in the warm water and olive oil, activating the yeast.
  3. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to come together.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  7. Punch the dough down to release air bubbles and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  8. Transfer the shaped dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone, add your favorite toppings, and bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the empty dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
