🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Trust me, this is crucial for a perfectly crispy crust.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon (4g) salt, and 1/2 teaspoon (3g) sugar. Give it a good whisk to combine those bad boys.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1 cup (240ml) warm water (around 105-115°F), and 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil. Stir gently to form a shaggy dough.
- Now for the kneading! Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour – don't be shy, but do it gradually.
- Lightly oil the bowl, pop your dough back in, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. Or you know, longer than that if you're running late. It'll be fine!
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. This step is like letting out a good sigh – it's therapeutic!
- Roll out the dough to your desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Aim for about 1/8 inch (3mm) for a thin and crispy crust, but, honestly? The thickness is up to you. Pizza is a judgment-free zone.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet. Make sure you’ve pre-greased it - no one wants a stuck pizza!
- Now comes the fun part: toppings! Spread your favorite pizza sauce (about 1/2 cup) evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Don't overload – trust the process!
- Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/2 cups, shredded) over the sauce. Then, add your choice of toppings. I love pepperoni, but get creative!
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning. Every oven is a bit different, so adjust as needed. Better safe than sorry!
- Once baked, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Pizza is best enjoyed fresh. I always grab the first slice. Always.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality olive oil.
- Feel free to experiment with your favorite pizza toppings!
- If you want a thicker crust, use a little less water in the dough and let it rise a bit longer.
- Dont overbake, or the crust will be too hard
