Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the olive oil and salt, then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread about half of the pizza sauce on each dough round, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.

Add Toppings
Add your chosen toppings to the pizza, distributing them evenly.

Bake the Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
