Pizza Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Then, add the olive oil and salt.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.

  5. 5

    Shape the Pizza

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

  6. 6

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and add your desired toppings.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot!
