Pizza Dough

Preparation

Make the Dough
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the Oven

Add Sauce and Toppings
