Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup toppings (pepperoni, sliced vegetables, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into two portions (if you want individual pizzas) or keep it whole for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or your hands until it forms a thin circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and place your rolled-out dough on it.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your desired toppings.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
