Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Mix the dough: Once the yeast is activated, add the olive oil and salt. Slowly add the flour, one cup at a time.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- Shape the dough: Punch it down, divide in half, and roll out into your desired shape and thickness.
- Pre-bake the crust: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and bake the crust for about 5 minutes before adding toppings.
Notes
Experiment with different flours or add herbs for flavor. Always pre-bake to ensure a crispy crust.
