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 the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the dough: Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Roll out the dough: Roll out the dough on a baking sheet, add your favorite toppings, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Notes
- Feel free to add any toppings you like—pepperoni, vegetables, cheese, and more.
- For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet.
