Easy Homemade Pizza Dough

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup warm water ((105 degrees F))
  2. 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  3. 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
  4. 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  5. 2 to 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour*
  6. 1 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius). Put a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats, and let it warm at 500 degrees F for at least 10 minutes.*

  2. Make the Pizza Dough

    Combine warm water, yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbles form.
  4. Gently stir in olive oil.
  5. Add 2 cups of flour and salt and mix with a spatula until a ball begins to form (dough will still be slightly sticky). Add more flour as needed to form a dough ball.
  6. Transfer to a floured surface and knead into a smooth dough, adding up to ½ cup extra flour if needed.
  7. Optional. if desired, cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it rise for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.

  8. Assemble the Pizza

    Roll the dough into your desired shape and put it on a piece of parchment paper.
  9. Add pizza sauce, cheese and toppings of choice.

  10. Bake The Pizza

    Use a pizza peel to transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone in the oven.
  11. Bake on the preheated pizza stone for 11-14 minutes, or until the bottom of the crust is golden brown.
  12. Remove the pizza from the oven with the pizza peel and put it on a wire rack to cool for at 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
