Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two portions. Roll out each portion into a round pizza crust on a floured surface.
- Spread tomato sauce on the crusts and top them with shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
- Transfer the pizzas onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven, let them cool for a minute, and then slice into perfect wedges of deliciousness.
