Ingredients

  • 2 - 2 1/3 cups flour (either all purpose or bread flour) divided 250- 295g
  • 1 packet or 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (+more for coating the bowl and baking)
  • 3/4 cup warm water*

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine 1 cup of the flour (125g) with the yeast, sugar, salt and garlic powder/basil if using in a large bowl.
  2. Add olive oil and warm water and use a wooden spoon to combine thoroughly.
  3. Add in another 1 cup of flour, and stir. If dough is still too sticky and unmanageable, keep adding flour gradually while stirring until a maximum of another 1/3- 1/2 cup is added. The dough will begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Coat another large bowl with some olive oil and transfer dough to this greased bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until puffy and expanded to double in size.
  5. If baking crust right after rising, preheat the oven to 220 C (425) while dough is rising.
  6. Once dough has risen, coat your hands and a work surface lightly with flour and remove dough from the bowl and knead gently just a few times until dough is deflated and smooth.
  7. Using hands or a rolling pin (I find it easier to do this directly in the pizza pan) either roll or stretch dough into a 12 inch circular shape.
  8. Brush the dough circle all over with olive oil (about 1 tbsp). Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent bubbling in the oven.
  9. Add desired sauce and toppings and bake in the very hot oven for 13-15 minutes or until toppings are golden brown.

Notes

  • Recipe adapted from Sugar Spun Run .
  • *Water should be warm but not so hot that it'll kill the yeast. Aim for 40-46 C (105-115 F)..  You should be able to keep your hand in it without discomfort but it'll feel warmer than room temperature. I usually boil some water in a kettle, fill up 1/4 of my measuring cup with that then top off the rest with warm temperature water.
