Ingredients

• 1.5 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 packet dry active yeast
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Mix well.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir the mixture together using a wooden spoon or your hands until it forms a dough.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a large, lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the dough with the oil.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas.

Step 10

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Top the dough with your favorite pizza toppings.

Step 12

Bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
