How to Make Easiest Ever Pizza Dough
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture.
- Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for at least 15 minutes (no need for a long rise!).
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Punch down the dough and shape it into your desired pizza crust or focaccia loaf.
- For pizza: Add your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For focaccia: Brush generously with olive oil and sprinkle with olives, parmesan cheese, and rosemary. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- For herb focaccia: Brush with olive oil, then sprinkle with a mixture of 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano, and 1 clove minced garlic.
