- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2.5 tbsp flour
- 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 a ¼ ounce packet or 7 grams of active dry yeast, not instant yeast.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar (honey or brown sugar can be used instead).
4. Mix and set aside for 5-7 minutes or until you see a nice foamy head on top.
5. Add 2 cups or 240 grams of all-purpose flour (bread flour for chewier pizza or double zero flour for a thinner crispier pizza).
6. Add ¾ teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
7. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
8. Mix on low for about a minute until the dough comes together.
9. Increase speed to medium-low and run the mixer for about 5 minutes or until it comes together in a ball and has some elasticity.
10. Add a tablespoon or two of flour if the dough seems too wet, or add a few tablespoons of warm water if the dough seems too dry.
11. Lightly flour your countertop and transfer the dough.
12. Give it a good stretch and press it away from you, bringing it in and pressing away.
13. Lightly oil a large bowl, and transfer the dough to the bowl, turning it a few times so that it's oiled all over.
14. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic and let it sit in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size.
15. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
16. Spread the dough onto a baking sheet and form it into a circle.
17. Spoon your sauce onto the middle, leaving a little border for the crust. Don't add too much sauce.
18. Finish with mozzarella and other favorite toppings.
19. Bake at 450°F for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
