Amazing Pizza Crust

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago and it is becoming our Friday night dinner. I am loving this recipe! It is SO easy!

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (converts to 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast in a jar)
  • 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 2 1/ 2 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/ 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 45-60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape. If it is too sticky add up to 1/2 cup more flour. Spread onto pizza pan and pre bake about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
