Ingredients

• 500 grams Bread flour
• 325 milliliters Warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to blend the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water and olive oil.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Lightly oil a clean mixing bowl and place the dough inside, turning it once to coat it with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel.

Step 6

Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for about 1.5-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Once risen, gently punch the dough down to release excess air. Divide it into two equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Place the dough balls on a lightly floured surface or tray, cover them loosely with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 15-20 minutes before shaping.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 500°F/260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking steel inside, if available, to heat up for at least 30 minutes.

Step 10

Roll out or stretch each dough ball into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker for a defined crust.

Step 11

Transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal. Add your desired toppings and slide it onto the preheated stone or steel.

Step 12

Bake each pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Slice and serve immediately!
