Ingredients
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 1/3 cups warm water
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Mix until smooth, then cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm area.
- Once rested, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll it into a round shape, suitable for your pan.
- Transfer the shaped dough to a lightly greased pizza pan or a baker’s peel dusted with cornmeal for easier handling.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Spread the dough with desired toppings and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
