Pizza dough recipe

 

For Pizza dough recipe:

• 1 teaspoon yeast

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 3/4 cup warm water

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

In a bowl, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well and stir together with a spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. If you want thin crust, divide the dough into 2. If you want, thick crust, use the entire dough.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into my desired thickness.

Transfer the dough to a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 475°F and let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.

Add your favorite pizza toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Note: use the bottom rack in the oven
