## Ingredients

- 0.75 cup warm water
- 1 25-ounce/7g packet active dry yeast
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 mozzarella
- 1 pizza sauce

## Instructions

1. In the bowl of your stand mixer or a big bowl, add ¾ cup of warm water (100-110°F) (180ml).
2. Add 1 (0.25-ounce/7g) packet of active dry yeast, not instant yeast.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
4. Set aside for 5-7 minutes until you see a nice foamy head.
5. Add 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour (or bread flour for chewier pizza, or double zero flour for a thinner, crispier pizza).
6. Add ¾ tsp salt and 2 tsp granulated sugar (3 tsp total in recipe).
7. Add 1 tbsp olive oil.
8. Mix on low for about a minute until the dough comes together, then increase speed to medium-low.
9. Mix for about 5 minutes or until it comes together in a ball and has elasticity.
10. If doing this by hand, use a wooden spoon until it's a shaggy mixture; then dump it out onto the counter and knead it.
11. Lightly flour your hands and counter.
12. Transfer dough to counter; give it a good stretch and press away from you, bringing it in and repeating.
13. Add flour to your hands as needed.
14. Lightly oil a large bowl, and put dough in bowl and turn it a few times.
15. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic and let it sit in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size (you can use a proofing drawer or warm oven to 100°F).
16. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
17. Spread dough out into a circle on a lightly floured baking sheet or pizza stone, lifting and pulling to form it (no rolling pin needed).
18. Spoon sauce onto the middle, leaving a little border, and gently spread it out.
19. Add mozzarella and any other toppings.
20. Bake at 450°F for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
