This dough makes a chewy and crispy delicious pizza crust! My go-to for pizza nights!!
Makes 2 medium sized pizzas.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Pizza Dough Ingredients:
1 pack instant yeast
1 1/2 TBSP Sugar
1 cup warm water + 1 TBSP
2 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp salt
3 cups bread flour
In a large bowl add warm water, yeast, and 1/2 TBSP of the sugar. Let sit for 7 minutes.
Once foamy and bubbly add flour, rest of sugar, salt and oil. Stir with a wooden spoon til it forms a cohesive ball. It shouldn't be sticking to the sides.
Turn out on a floured surface and knead for 7 minutes. Knead til smooth.
Pour 1 TBSP of olive oil into a large clean bowl. Spread with hands all over the bowl. Put the dough in the bowl and coat it really well in the oil.
Cover with a warm damp towel and let rise for 1 hr.
Once dough has doubled in size, gently press it down and turn out onto a floured surface. Cut dough in half, putting the other half aside. Spread out the dough into a circle using your hands. Flour a rolling pin and roll it into a medium sized pizza. Lightly lift up the ends and form a crust.
On a pizza pan lightly sprinkle cornmeal over the surface to prevent sticking.
Transfer dough onto pan and spread out evenly.
Using a fork lightly press holes all over the surface of the pizza. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
Pre-bake at 450 degrees for 3-4 minutes.
