Pizza Dough

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the 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.

  5. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  6. 6

    Shape the Pizza

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Add Toppings

    Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then add mozzarella cheese and your choice of toppings.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy your homemade pizza!
