PIZZA CRUST RECIPE

Here's a simple and delicious pizza crust recipe:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)

- 1 package (0.25 ounce) active dry yeast

- 1 teaspoon white sugar

- 2 ½ cups bread flour

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

   - In a small bowl, stir together the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes bubbly and frothy on top.

2. Mix the Dough:

   - In a large mixing bowl, measure out the bread flour. Create a well in the center.

   - Pour the yeast mixture into the well and stir with a firm spatula until the dough comes together.

3. Knead the Dough:

   - Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

   - Knead it for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic.

4. Rest the Dough:

   - Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a damp cloth.

   - Let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

5. Prepare Your Surface:

   - Rub your work surface (and your hands) with a few tablespoons of olive oil.

   - This will prevent sticking and encourage a crispy texture.

6. Shape the Dough:

   - You have a few options for shaping the dough:

     - Stretch it in the air.

     - Use a rolling pin.

     - Pat it with your hands.

   - Make sure not to overwork the dough.

7. Preheat the Oven:

   - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

8. Add Toppings:

   - Transfer the shaped dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

   - Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.

9. Bake:

   - Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

10. Enjoy!

    - Slice your homemade pizza and enjoy it fresh out of the oven!

This quick and easy pizza crust yields a soft, chewy texture that's perfect for your favorite toppings. Feel free to get creative with your pizza toppings and enjoy your homemade pizza! ๐Ÿ•
