Signature Pizza Crust
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
Instructions
1
Combine warm water, yeast, and brown sugar in a large mixing container; allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
2
Combine oil and salt with the yeast mixture, stirring until well incorporated. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of flour to the mixture, blending until it forms a cohesive unit. Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead, adding additional flour as needed to achieve a non-sticky consistency. Place the dough in an oiled bowl.
3
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
4
Gently press down on the dough and shape it into a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for 1 minute before rolling it out.
5
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
6
If using a pizza stone, place your desired toppings directly onto the dough and bake immediately. If using a pan, lightly oil the surface and let the dough rise for 15 to 20 minutes before adding toppings and baking.
7
Bake the dough in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, taking 15 to 20 minutes.
