Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir in the yeast until it dissolves.

  2. Add the flour and salt to the mixing bowl, and stir until a rough pizza dough forms.

  3. Knead the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. Place the pizza dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and set aside for 2 hours in a warm, draft-free location.

  5. Punch it down and place it on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal parts. The pizza dough should have increased in size after 2 hours.

  6. Roll each portion into a ball, cover it with a kitchen towel, and wait 15 minutes.

  7. Preheat your oven to 750-950°F (400-510°C). Roll out each dough ball into a thin circle and top with your favorite sauce and toppings.

  8. Bake the pizza in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the crust is crispy

  9. This recipe produces enough dough for two 12-inch pizzas. The pizza dough can be frozen for up to two months or kept in the fridge for up to three days. Cover it in plastic wrap and place it in a resealable freezer bag.

Note

Chris Bianco's recipe is designed to create a dough with a thin and crispy crust. If you prefer a thicker crust, you can adjust the amount of flour and water accordingly.
