Pizza Dough
Method
Pizza Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large 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 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape the Pizza
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Add Toppings
Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add your choice of toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, etc.).
Bake the Pizza
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
