Ingredients
Instructions
Add yeast to warm water and sugar, mix, and let sit for 5–10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and other seasonings.
After yeast is activated and foamy, add it to the flour mixture with olive oil and combine.
Once dough is sticky, transfer to a floured surface and knead, adding oil if needed, for about 10 minutes or until a nice non-sticky ball forms.
Transfer dough to a clean, slightly oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap or a towel.
Store the bowl in a warm area for 1 hour.
After an hour, dough should have risen to twice the size. Punch and form into pizza.
Flash-bake for 5 minutes at 450°F, remove, add toppings, and bake for another 10–15 minutes.
Notes
Use any seasonings you like. Dough may be frozen; let it return to room temperature before using.
