Ingredients
The first thing you need to do is gather all the ingredients you'll need. For the pizza dough, you'll need:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
¾ cup of warm water
For the pizza toppings, you can use whatever you like. Here are some ideas:
Tomato sauce or pesto
Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan)
Meat (pepperoni, sausage, or chicken)
Veggies (mushrooms, onions, peppers, or olives)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 2: Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. The dough should double in size.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Step 4: Roll out the Dough
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Step 5: Add the Toppings
Spread tomato sauce or pesto evenly over the dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges. Sprinkle cheese over the sauce, followed by your desired toppings.
Step 6: Bake the Pizza
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 7: Let the Pizza Cool
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
