Ingredients:

1 ½ cups warm water

1 teaspoon sugar

2 Tablespoons olive oil (or more)

1 pkg yeast (2 ¼ teaspoon or 11 mL or 8 grams)


3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt



Directions:

Combine the first four ingredients in a large bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.  You will see foam on the surface when the yeast starts to “activate”.


In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt.


Pour the flour mixture into the liquid mixture.  Mix well.  You may want to use your hands to form the dough into a ball.


Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl.  Cover with plastic wrap, or put the dough into a plastic bag.

Let it rise for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.  It will double in size.   (You can speed up the rising by putting your dough into a slightly warm oven  - 100 - 150° F)


Preheat oven to 500° f.


Roll dough on a well-floured surface or stretch it with your hands.  Place dough on a lightly oiled or parchment paper lined baking pan.


Spread lightly with sauce and toppings of your choice.


Bake in very hot oven for about 15 minutes.


Enjoy!
