  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2 (makes enough dough for two pizzas) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then divide if desired. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) before baking.
