Pizza Dough
This pizza dough recipe was given to me by a friend. It's quick and easy to make for a delicious homemade pizza crust that you can top with pizza sauce and your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 .25 ounce package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
- 2 cups bread flour plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Combine bread flour, olive oil, sugar, salt, and yeast mixture in a mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Beat until a stiff dough has formed. Cover the bowl; let rise at room temperature until dough doubles in volume, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a thin crust. Cover with your favorite sauce and toppings.
- Bake pizza in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
