How to make Homemade Pizza

Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.

  2. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat in the oil.

  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Pizza

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a 12-inch circle.

  3. Place the dough on a greased baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough.

  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

  5. Add your desired toppings.

  6. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.

  2. Kneading the dough well is crucial for a good texture.
