Pizza Dough Preparation
Make Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Let Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Pizza Assembly
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.
Shape Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two portions for 10” and 16” pizzas. Roll each portion into a circle.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread tomato sauce evenly on the pizza base. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add Toppings
Add your choice of optional toppings over the cheese.
Bake 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 bubbly.
Garnish and Serve
