Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).

1. Proof the Yeast

Pour warm water (115°F (218°C). Sprinkle the yeast and sugar into the water. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes, until you start to see it bubble and foam.

2. Mix the Pizza Dough Ingredients

 To the yeast, add the flour, sugar, oil, and salt and stir to combine and form a ball of dough you can grab. 

3. Knead the dough

Remove it from the bowl and knead it on a floured surface for 3-5 minutes until the dough is smooth and a little tacky (but not wet) to the touch.

4. Let the Pizza Dough Rise

In a large bowl, pour a drizzle of olive oil and spread it evenly up the sides and the bottom of the bowl, so it is coated in oil.

Take the smooth, kneaded dough ball to a large greased bowl and let it rise until it has doubled in volume. This will take about an hour in a warm room.

5. Roll Out the Pizza Dough

Take the risen dough out of the bowl and split it into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to stretch the dough balls into 10-inch rounds, approximately ½ inch thick.

Gently take the pizza crusts and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. 

6. Spread The Sauce and Add Toppings

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over both pizzas. Less sauce will make for a crispier crust.  

Add your cheese and toppings of choice.

7. Bake the Pizza

Bake the pizza in a 425°F (218°C) for about 15-17 minutes, until the crust is starting to brown.
