Easy Pizza Crust

Easy Pizza Crust

Author Amber Brady
Yields 8 Servings

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (177 ml) warm water
  • ½ Tbsp instant yeast
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon & level)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast with sugar in warm water. Let sit until bubbly (5 min.)
  • Add extra virgin olive oil, salt & flour to the yeast mixture. Mix with a spoon giving it about 50 good stirs until it balls up & does not stick to the bowl, sprinkling dough with extra flour as necessary. Take dough out of bowl. Spray the inside with pan-coating & put dough back inside the bowl. Cover with a towel & let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
  • Once dough has rested, & risen about double the size, roll out onto prepared pizza tray (grease tray with spray.) Cover with towel & let rest again for 10-15 minutes. The longer you let it rest the softer it will be.
  • Preheat oven to 425˚F. Bake crust for 5 minutes to create a dry, semi-cooked layer over the top.
  • Top pizza with desired sauce, cheese & toppings.
  • Return pizza to oven for an additional 11-12 minutes or until crust is browned & cheese bubbles.
