Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon instant yeast
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.
Mix until the dough begins to come together, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper and add your favorite toppings.
Carefully open the oven and slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.
