Ingrédients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 1/2 cups Warm water 105-115°F
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups All-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Clean kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. You can use it immediately or wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

This dough is versatile and can be used for various pizza toppings. For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for a few minutes before adding toppings.
