Pizza Dough
Method
Pizza Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Add Toppings
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Slice and Serve
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice it up, and enjoy!
