Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour or bread flour divided
- 1 packet instant yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for brushing the dough
- ¾ cup warm water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, the yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the warm water and mix well.
- Gradually stir in another 1 cup flour, stirring until the dough forms a soft, elastic ball. Use the remaining 1/3 cup flour only if needed. The dough should still be slightly sticky, but able to form a ball.
- Prepare a large, clean bowl by very generously brushing with olive oil.
- Transfer the dough ball to the bowl and turn once so that the dough is lightly oiled on all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled, 30-60 minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down then transfer to a floured surface and knead for 1 minute until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a large circle, then place on a pizza pan. Poke the dough all over with a fork, then brush the dough with olive oil.
- To make the pizza, preheat the oven to 425F. Top the dough with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and the toppings of your choice. Bake the pizza at 425F for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and reaches your desired level of doneness. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
