Pizza Dough

Preparation

Pizza Preparation

1. Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. Roll Out the Dough

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to a thin crust, about 12 inches in diameter.

4. Add Toppings

Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice.

5. Bake the Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

6. Serve with Hot Oil

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, slice, and serve with your signature hot oil topping.
