How to Make Pizza Dough

Combine warm water and sugar in a bowl; stir until dissolved.

Sprinkle yeast over the water; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl; cover with a damp cloth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough to release air.

Divide the dough into portions; shape each into a ball.

Let the dough balls rest for 30 minutes before rolling out.

Dust with semolina flour before rolling for added texture.
