Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Lukewarm water (around 110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the bottom rack to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two portions for two pizzas or keep it whole for a larger crust.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough as thin as possible (around 1/8 inch thick) while maintaining its shape.
Sprinkle a sheet of parchment paper with cornmeal and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
Add your favorite toppings to the pizza crust, making sure not to overload it to maintain a crisp texture.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) to the preheated baking stone or sheet in the oven.
Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the toppings are bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
