Make your own pizza dough! (Video at bottom to follow along!)

Supply List:

Mixing Bowl
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cups
Rolling Pin
Pizza Stone or Cookie Sheet/Jelly Roll Pan

Ingredients:

1 Cup warm water (105-110 degrees)
1 TBS Sugar
1 TBS Active Dry Yeast
1 TBS Olive Oil
2 to 2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt

Directions:

Option A: Put Pizza Stone in the oven and then heat oven to 475 degrees F. Option B: Preheat oven to 475. Then, grease a pizza pan or large jelly roll pan and set aside.

1. Put warm water into a large mixing bowl (check the water temp 105-110 degrees).
2. Add sugar and yeast and stir to combine.
3. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbles form.
4. Add olive oil and gently stir to combine.
5. Add 2 cups of flour and salt and mix with a spatula until a ball begins to form (dough will still be slightly sticky). Add more flour as needed to form a dough ball.
6. Transfer to a floured surface and knead into a smooth dough, adding up to ½ cup extra flour if needed.
7. Roll dough into your desired shape and gently transfer to your prepared pan.
8. To ensure the dough doesn't form air pockets, use a fork to prick the dough all around (gently so you do not poke holes all the way through the crust).
9. Bake on the lower rack of your preheated oven for 5 minutes and remove from your oven. (this is just to very slightly prebake the dough). If you notice air bubbles forming, poke them with a fork to let the air out.
10. Add pizza sauce and toppings of choice!
11. Bake on the lower rack of your oven for around 15-20 minutes until the crust looks crispy and lightly browned.
12. Let cool, cut and serve.
