This quick and easy recipe will help you make tasty pizza dough at home in no time. Great for pizza night with friends and family!
Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast. 1 tsp sugar. 1 tsp salt. 3/4 cup warm water. 2 tbsp olive oil.
Instructions: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture and mix well. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 30 minutes to an hour or until it doubles in size. Preheat your oven to 475F 245C and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside to heat. Punch down the dough and divide it into two portions for two 12-inch pizzas or leave it whole for a thick crust pizza. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Add your favorite pizza toppings, sauce, cheese, and other ingredients. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, slice, and enjoy!
