Classic Homemade Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F or 45°C)
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Make the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir until the dough begins to come together. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, a little at a time, until a soft, elastic dough forms.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
First Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Prepare for Baking:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and divide it into 2-3 portions, depending on the size of pizzas you want to make.
Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Assemble and Bake:
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
Add your desired toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Enjoy your homemade pizza!
