Instructions
Step 1
Get the Yeast Active:
Step 2
Combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large mixing bowl. After giving it a gentle stir, leave it for five to ten minutes, or until it starts to foam. The yeast is active, based on this.
Step 3
To make the dough:
Step 4
Combine the yeast mixture with the flour, salt, and olive oil. Stir until a dough starts to take shape. One spoonful of additional flour at a time can be added if the dough is too sticky.
Step 5
Knead the dough:
Step 6
Place the dough on a surface dusted with flour and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is elastic and smooth. Push the dough away from you with the heel of your hand, then fold it back and do it again.
Step 7
Allow It to Rise:
Step 8
Put the dough in a bowl that has been lightly greased, cover it with a kitchen towel, and leave it in a warm location for one to two hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 9
Set the Oven's Temperature:
Step 10
475°F (245°C). Put the pizza stone in the oven to preheat if you plan to use one.
Step 11
Shape the Dough:
Step 12
Punch the dough down to eliminate any air bubbles once it has risen. To get the thickness you want, roll it out on a floured surface. Roll it thinner for a crispy crust and somewhat thicker for a chewier one.
Step 13
To add toppings:
Step 14
Move the dough to a parchment paper-lined pizza stone or baking sheet. Top with your preferred cheese, sauce, and toppings.
Step 15
Bake:
Step 16
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Step 17
Serve and Savour:
Step 18
Take it out of the oven, let it a few minutes to cool, then cut it into slices and serve!
