Dough Ingredients
Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C) and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
- 3
Combine Wet Ingredients
Once the yeast is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the olive oil. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
- 4
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 5
First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a floured surface and shape it into a large pizza base, about 14-16 inches in diameter.
- 7
Final Rise
Let the shaped dough rest for an additional 20-30 minutes to puff up slightly before adding your favorite toppings.
