Pizza Dough
Method
Pizza Preparation
Make the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 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
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 2 equal portions for large pizzas or 4 for smaller ones. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Top and Bake
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings to the rolled-out dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
