# What You'll Need:
→ Dough Base
01 -
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
03 -
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
04 -
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
05 -
1 1/4 cups warm water
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
# Directions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 to 10 minutes until it develops a foamy surface.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Add in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
03 -
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface or use a stand mixer with dough hook. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
04 -
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 1 to 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in volume.
05 -
Divide the risen dough into 2 equal portions. Gently stretch each portion by hand into a 10 to 12-inch round, taking care not to deflate the bubbles.
06 -
Preheat the oven to 500°F. For best results, use a pizza stone or steel. Prepare toppings as desired.
07 -
Transfer the shaped dough to a prepared pizza stone or baking sheet. Add desired toppings and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the crust is golden, puffed, and crisp.
# Notes:
01 -
Using warm water between 105°F and 110°F ensures proper yeast activation for optimal dough rise.
