  • 2 ½ cups bread flour (AP will work as well)
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

  3. Using a liberal amount of flour, flatten and shape balls into rounds. Transfer to either a floured pizza peel or a lightly greased cookie sheet, and top as desired.
  4. Bake pizza for about 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining dough ball.
