Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Topping of choice (pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.

Step 2

Add olive oil, salt, and 2.5 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions for two pizzas. Roll each portion into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.

Step 8

Dust a piece of parchment paper with cornmeal or flour and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.

Step 9

Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over each pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over each pizza, then add your desired toppings.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated baking sheet or stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 12

Let the pizzas cool completely, then wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 13

To reheat, bake the frozen pizzas directly on a preheated baking sheet at 425°F (218°C) for 15-18 minutes or until heated through.
