Pizza Dough | Easy Recipe for Beginners

In a bowl, take lukewarm water and add sugar, mixing it in.

Add active dry yeast to the water and sugar mixture, then set aside for 10 minutes until it bubbles up.

Grease another bowl with oil and set it aside.

In a separate bowl, add all-purpose flour, olive oil, and salt, mixing with clean hands.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and knead until it comes together.

Continue kneading the dough until it is nice and smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a flat surface and keep kneading if necessary.

Set the dough aside in the greased bowl, greasing the top with a pastry brush and olive oil.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it sit in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

Grease a pizza pan with olive oil and transfer half the dough into it, pressing it flat with fingers.

Prick the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Add desired toppings on the pizza.

Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 10 to 12 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.

Serve hot.
