Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a floured surface.
- Knead dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if sticky.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough, divide into 4 equal pieces, and shape into balls. Let rest for 10 minutes before rolling out.
Tips
- For a crispier crust, preheat your oven to the highest setting (500°F/260°C) and use a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet.
- Unbaked dough balls can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 3 months.
