Ingredients
2¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour or bread flour
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
¾ cup (180 ml) lukewarm water
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the flour and salt, then mix until a rough dough forms.
Add the olive oil and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth, soft, and slightly elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 2 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a smooth ball. Cover and let rest for another 20–30 minutes.
Gently stretch each dough ball into a round pizza base, keeping the edges slightly thicker.
