Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder and basil leaves with a wooden spoon.
- Add in the olive oil and the warm water. Stir until well combined.
- Then slowly add in the remaining flour, stirring until the dough is formed into a ball and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. The ball will be sticky but still easily manageable with your hands.
- Drizzle some olive oil in a separate bowl. Move the pizza dough into this bowl and gently roll the pizza dough around the edges of the bowl until it’s coated in the oil. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep it in a warm place. Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Once the dough has risen, move the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the bread a few times until it’s smooth. Then roll the dough into a 12 inch circle with a rolling pin.
- Transfer the pizza dough to a pizza pan or stone and use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza dough to keep it from bubbling in the oven.
- Then top the pizza with your preferred sauce and toppings. Make sure to leave approximately 1 inch of the crust around the outside of the pizza. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve the pizza. Enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate the leftover pizza in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- This pizza dough can be made ahead of time. Let the dough rise at room temperature, then deflate it and wrap the dough in plastic wrap (so it doesn’t dry out) and refrigerate for 2-3 days.
