- Warm water: 1 cup (240ml)
- Active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet)
- Sugar: 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour: 3 cups (375g)
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions:
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the dough: Punch down the dough and divide it into two balls. Roll out each ball into a pizza crust shape on a floured surface.
