Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant dry yeast
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Any toppings of your choice (pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, etc.)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Add the flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
7. Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the base.
8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and add your favorite toppings.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy your homemade quick pizza!
