Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until creamy and foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, olive oil, sugar, salt, and the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough comes together.
Knead until a stiff dough forms. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Turn the dough onto a floured surface, form into a round, and roll into a thin crust.
Transfer dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Chef Tips

Use bread flour for the best texture; all-purpose flour works too.
Letting the dough rise in a warm spot speeds up fermentation.
For a crispier crust, bake at a higher temperature (up to 475°F) for 12–15 minutes.

Pepperoni lovers’ favorite with gooey mozzarella.
Veggie supreme with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives.

Storage & Reheating

Fridge: Store leftover dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Wrap dough tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before using.
Reheat: Warm baked slices in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or until crispy again.
