Warm water

Granulated sugar

Instant Yeast

Flour

Olive oil

Salt

In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the water, sugar, and yeast. Cover with a towel and let mixture foam for 5 minutes.

step 1

Add the flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix with together. It should be a little sticky but forming somewhat of a shape. You can add a little flour if needed at this point to do so. Knead dough for 4-5 minutes with the dough hook or by hand on a floured surface. Dough should bounce back when pressed.

step 2

Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.

step 3

To bake, preheat oven to 475-500 degrees f and place a pizza stone inside to preheat with it for about 30 minutes.

step 4

Punch down dough and divide into two portions. Each portion will make a 12-inch pizza. You can refrigerate at this point for up to four hours. Before using, just let the dough sit at room temperature for about an 30-60 minutes. This makes it more workable. On parchment paper sprinkled with flour, roll, press, and stretch dough into a circle or desired shape and thickness.

step 5

Top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and desired toppings. We also like to sprinkle the pizza with some garlic powder or garlic salt. Transfer to the preheated stone in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until desired doneness.
