If you're a pizza lover, you know that the foundation of any great pie is a perfect pizza dough. Making your own dough from scratch may seem intimidating, but with this simple recipe, you'll be a pro in no time.
First, gather your ingredients:
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 cup of warm water
Next, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for about an hour. Once the dough has doubled in size, it's ready to use!
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and add your favorite toppings. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Now, sit back and enjoy your delicious homemade pizza with the perfect crust!
