- 1 package instant dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 3 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water (lukewarm)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
Steps
Stir the yeast into the flour.
Stir the water, olive oil, sugar, and salt into the flour mixture. Knead the dough by hand for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover, let rise in a warm area for 30-40 or until doubled. Punch the dough down and divide into 2 portions. Dough can be frozen at this point.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Lightly flour a work surface and stretch or roll the dough into the desired pizza shape. Gently fold the edges under to form a crust. Allow the dough to rest about 10-15 minutes.
Poke the dough with a fork and lightly brush with olive oil.
Top pizza with toppings as desired and bake 11-14 minutes. Cool 3-5 minutes before cutting.
