Description

Nothing beats a piping hot, fresh-baked pizza. Making your own from scratch is the ultimate way to enjoy this classic comfort food! You can easily make delicious pizza dough recipes with the right recipe and a few simple ingredients in minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon active yeast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water with a whisk, and let the yeast activate, sitting for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together again and add the olive oil and combine. Add the flour to a cup, stirring until a dough forms. Let this dough sit in a bowl for 45 minutes, covered with a damp towel.
  • Once the 45 minutes are up, knead the pizza dough for about 5 minutes, stretching out as you do so into a disc-like pizza crust.
  • Use with your favorite pizza recipe, or store until ready to use.
