Ingredients

• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.75 cups Warm water (110°F or 45°C)
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Semolina flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 3

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until they form a shaggy dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface.

Step 4

Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a dusting of flour if the dough feels too sticky.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions if making two pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 8

Roll out the dough on a floured surface or stretch it by hand into your desired pizza shape, ensuring the edges stay slightly thicker for the crust.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pizza peel or parchment paper with semolina flour and transfer the dough onto it. Add your desired toppings.

Step 10

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
