Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water-sugar mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Add the olive oil, all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder, and minced garlic into the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.

Step 7

Punch the dough down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness, shaping it into a round or rectangle depending on your preference.

Step 8

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then brush it generously over the surface of the dough.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the crust (optional) for added flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool slightly before adding your desired pizza toppings.
