Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 packet dry active yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle the dry active yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Mix well.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir the mixture together using a wooden spoon or your hands until it forms a dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a large, lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the dough with the oil.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Top the dough with your favorite pizza toppings.
Bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
