Ingredients List

Dry Active Yeast:2 teaspoons
Sugar:1 tablespoon
Warm Water:1 1/3 cup
All-Purpose Flour:3 cups
Salt:1 teaspoon
Olive Oil:2 tablespoons

Important Notes

⚠️

Ensure the water for the yeast is warm, not hot, as hot water can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.

⚠️

Kneading for the full 10 minutes is essential to develop the gluten, which gives the pizza crust its characteristic chewy texture.

⚠️

This recipe is great for meal prep. Freeze the dough balls in freezer-safe bags for a quick and easy pizza night.
