Ingredients
- ¾ cup warm water (100-110°F) (180mL)
- 1 (.25-ounce/7g) packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (pulse more for brushing)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 1In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let the mixture stand until it is very frothy on top, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 2Add the flour, olive oil, salt and remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar to the bloomed yeast. Attach the dough hook and mix on low for about 1 minute. Increase to medium-low speed until the dough comes together in a ball, is smooth, and springs back when poked, about 5 minutes.
- 3Shape the dough into a tight ball on the counter and place it in a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free place to rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 4Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- 5When the dough has doubled, punch it down and shape it into a 12” circle on a lightly floured surface, making a thicker rim around the outside edge. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pizza pan and reshape into a circle if needed. Brush the rim with olive oil if desired, and top with sauce and your choice of pizza toppings or as directed by your recipe.
- 6Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
