Perfect Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the olive oil and warm water and mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a pizza stone in the oven to preheat.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into two equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a thin, round pizza crust.
- Place the pizza crusts onto a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
- Top the pizza crusts with your favorite toppings and transfer to the preheated pizza stone in the oven.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
