Pizza Dough and Sauce

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil and salt, then gradually mix in flour until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pizza Base

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Divide the risen dough into two equal portions for medium pizzas or keep it whole for a large pizza. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Add your choice of toppings from the list below.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
