Pizza Dough
Method
Pizza Assembly
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add in the olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Proof the Dough
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Add Toppings
Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the dough, sprinkle with cheese, and add any additional toppings of your choice (pepperoni, vegetables, etc.).
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Slice and Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice into pieces and serve hot.
