To make the pizza dough, you’ll need the following ingredients:

– 1 ½ cups warm water
– 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation of the dough

•  In a bowl, mix together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, olive oil, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
• Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
•  Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or napkin and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
• Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles that may have formed during the rising process.
• On a floured surface, divide the dough into the desired number of pizza crusts. You can make small or large size pizza.
• Roll out each portion of dough into your desired thickness. Remember to flour your rolling pin and surface to avoid sticking.
•  Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Add your favorite pizza toppings such as tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, meats, and lots more. Just have fun with it by making it your own.
• Once your pizza is topped, carefully place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
