Customize it with your favorite sauces and toppings to experience gourmet-style pizza from the comfort of your home.
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and transfer it to a clean surface.
Divide the dough into two equal portions (or leave it whole for one large pizza). Roll each portion out as thin as possible, aiming for a consistent thickness of about 2-3 millimeters.
Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Top the dough with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings, being careful not to overload it to maintain the thin crust's integrity.
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza (with the parchment) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, keeping a close eye to avoid overcooking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
