Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar; let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the flour, salt, and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Notes

For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza stone or baking steel before placing the pizza on it. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.
