Components

• Water – heat water is finest
• Granulated white sugar*
• Immediate dry yeast
• All-purpose flour
• Salt
• Olive oil

*The sugar is non-compulsory however I really feel it sort of jumpstarts the yeast, so I virtually at all times add it (and it’s not a lot). That being mentioned, it’s completely wonderful to depart it out as properly.

Instructions

Measure out the nice and cozy water and stir the sugar, if utilizing, into it. Sprinkle the yeast excessive of the water and permit to activate for a couple of minutes. It ought to look foamy.

In a medium to massive mixing bowl, add the flour, salt and olive oil. Pour within the yeast water and stir till a unfastened dough ball kinds. Frivolously flour a floor and your (clear) fingers and knead the dough for a pair minutes till it begins to really feel virtually elastic-like in your fingers.

Add just a bit extra oil to the bowl, coating the edges, and place the dough ball again within the bowl. Cowl with a kitchen towel. Enable to rise till it’s almost doubled in dimension, about 45 minutes to an hour.

On a flippantly floured floor, roll out the dough to a circle. If you wish to attempt tossing it within the air like they do within the motion pictures be happy, however I often simply use a rolling pin. Place on a flippantly floured baking sheet.

Cowl with sauce, cheese, and different toppings. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 15-16 minutes.

Ideas for Making

• In case your yeast doesn’t look foamy and, properly, alive after a couple of minutes—like, if it appears precisely the identical because it did if you poured it from the packet—then examine the expiration date, as your yeast could also be previous and inactive.
• In case your kitchen is chilly or drafty, the dough might not rise as shortly. Yeast likes a heat setting. One choice is to heat your oven. It doesn’t have to be scorching, simply heat, after which place the dough bowl with towel inside to rise.
• Some folks will prebake the crust for 5-6 minutes earlier than including sauce and different toppings and baking for the remaining 10 minutes. I generally do that and it does yield a barely totally different texture to the crust. And generally I don’t prebake and that’s wonderful too. Both method will make pizza, it simply modifications the feel barely.
