Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir them together until evenly distributed.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Roll the dough out into your desired pizza shape (circle or rectangle), depending on your baking pan or stone.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add your favorite pizza toppings and preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve immediately.
