Ingredients
Scale
2 – 2 1/3 c. flour of choice (we like 00 pizza flour)
2 1/4 t. instant yeast (or one packet)
1 1/2 T. sugar
3/4 t. salt
1/4 t. each garlic powder, basil, oregano (if desired)
2 T. olive oil
3/4 c. luke warm water
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add olive oil and warm water and use a wooden spoon to stir well. Gradually add in another cup of flour until dough comes together.
- Turn out on to the counter and knead until smooth, adding a bit more flour as needed to no longer be sticky. Once smooth, ball the dough and return to the bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss the dough to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes and has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Turn out the dough on the counter and knead until smooth. Roll out into a circle (or alternate shape!). You can leave flat or roll the edges inward and pinch to create a ridge around the edge.
- Using a fork, poke a few holes throughout the dough to prevent air bubbles while baking.
- Top with your preferred pizza sauce and toppings.
- Bake for approximately 14-18 minutes or until cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool and enjoy!
