The best homemade pizza crust you'll find! Super easy and turns out every time!
Servings: 2 large crusts
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil , plus extra for the bowl
  • 3 1/4 - 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together water, yeast and sugar. Set aside until foamy and bubbling (5-6 minutes).
  2. Stir in olive oil.
  3. Add 3¼ cups of flour and salt to the bowl. Using the hook attachment, mix everything at medium speed. Knead for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour 1 tablespoon EVOO into the bowl and roll the dough in it.
  5. Cover with a towel for 45-60 minutes.
  6. Split into 2 sections, roll out crusts with a rolling pin, sprinkling with flour.
  7. Pizza baking time will vary (at 425º), depending on thickness, toppings, etc. Start your timer at 18 minutes and work until the crust turns golden brown.
Recipe Notes

If making by hand, not mixer, follow the same directions, but knead with hands for 10 minutes, until soft and smooth--use extra flour if sticky. It takes a little muscle, but it'll be SO worth it!
