Ingredients 

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until smooth.
  3. 3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  4. 4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  5. 5. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or stretch the dough into a round or square shape and place on a baking sheet.
  6. 6. Add your favorite toppings and bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
