Perfect Homemade Pizza Dough

This recipe will show you how to make the best pizza dough at home. You can make a tasty pizza crust that's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with just a few simple ingredients and some time to let it rise.

Ingredients:

• 3 1/4 cups 390g all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons 1 packet active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 1/4 cups 296ml lukewarm water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions:

Warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast should all be mixed together in a bowl

Allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it foams up

Mix the flour and kosher salt into the yeast

Mix until you get a dough

For about 5 minutes, knead the dough on a floured surface until it's smooth and springy

Put the dough in a bowl and coat it with olive oil

It should double in size after one to two hours

Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise

Warm up your oven to 475F 245C and put a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet inside

Split the dough in half, making two equal parts

You can roll each piece into a circle or a rectangle, whichever you like better

Place the dough that has been rolled out on a sheet of parchment paper

Place your favorite pizza toppings on top of the dough

Put the pizza on the parchment paper and then slide the pizza stone or baking sheet into the oven that has already been heated

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are done the way you like them

Take it out of the oven, let it cool down a bit, and then cut your homemade pizza into perfect slices

Have fun!
