Method
Making the Dough
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture along with olive oil. Stir until the dough begins to come together.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let it Rise
Place the dough 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.
Assembling the Pizza

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) during the last 10 minutes of the dough rising.
