Ingredients used:
For 1 people
- 1.5 cups - Flour
- 0.75 cup - Warm Water
- 1.5 tsp - Active Yeast
- 0.25 tsp - Salt
- 2 tbsp - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2-3 cup - Toppings
Recipe steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, warm water, yeast and salt. Mix with a spoon until the ingredients form a ball of dough.
- Once mixed, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Kneading helps give the dough its shape and texture.
- Once kneaded, lightly oil a bowl with the extra virgin olive oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm area to rise for about 1 hour.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal size balls and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a circular shape. Place the dough on a lightly oiled pizza pan or pizza stone.
- Top the pizza with the desired toppings and place the pan in the oven preheated to 425ºF. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
