Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Optional: Garlic powder or Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water (about 105°F to 110°F). Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy—this activates the yeast.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and optional garlic powder or Italian seasoning if you'd like a flavored dough.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with the olive oil.

Step 4

Stir the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky, but be careful not to overdo it.

Step 6

Once kneaded, place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size, in a warm place (like the inside of an oven with the light on).

Step 7

Once risen, punch the dough down to release any air bubbles and divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 9

Top your pizza dough with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!
