Serves/Makes: 3 crusts
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 2 packages (.25 ounce size) dry active yeast
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water (should be about 105 degrees F) and let sit for about 5-7 minutes or until it becomes active. Stir it a couple of times to make sure all the yeast is activated.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and oil. Mix well to combine and make a well in the center. Add the yeast and water into the well. Use a kneading action to incorporate the yeast into the flour mixture.

Continue kneading, adding more water or flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Form the dough into a ball and place back in the bowl with a damp cloth covering it. Let it rise for 20-30 minutes in a draft-free place.

Punch down the dough to remove any air bubbles. Form it into a ball again and place in a greased bowl. Gently brush it with oil, cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator.

When ready to bake your pizza, place the dough on a floured work space. Press it out with the heels of your hands into a large circle (about 12-14 inches). Make sure to press the dough evenly.

Add sauce and toppings as desired and bake at 475 degrees F until edges are golden brown and cheese (if using) is melted.
