Total Time 25

Servings Dough

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water around 110-115F

Instructions

Mix together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and water to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy ball forms.
Mix and Knead the Dough
Stand Mixer: Mix using a dough hook until smooth and a ball forms, about 3 minutes. Cover the dough with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes. Prep ingredients in the meantime.
Mix by Hand: Dump the dough onto a flat floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, adding more flour if needed. Cover the dough with your bowl or a towel and let rise for 15 minutes. Prep ingredients in the meantime.
Roll out the dough so it's ⅛ inch thick. One dough ball will make one 16" pizza or two 12" pizzas.
Top with sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes. Or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Makes 1.2 pounds of pizza dough.

To Freeze: Form dough into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap. Store in freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the dough in the refrigerator for 9 hours before making pizza. Leave the dough out on the counter for 30 minutes before stretching it. Room-temperature dough is much easier to work with.
