How to Make Easy Peasy 30 Minute Pizza Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons fast-rise active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape on the prepared pan.
  7. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
