Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet dry yeast (about 2¼ teaspoons)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water (110°F or 45°C)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, then roll it out to fit your pizza pan or stone.
Add your favorite toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and toppings are cooked.
