Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1 and 1/2 cups of warm water (110°F)
- 3 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt

For the Toppings:

- 1/2 cup of pizza sauce
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your choice of toppings (bell peppers, olives, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.)

Directions:

Prepare the Dough: Dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Mix the Dough: Combine the salt, flour, the yeast mixture, and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir until the dough comes together.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes or until it becomes elastic and smooth.
Let It Rise: Put the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
Assemble the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Lay the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, sprinkle with cheese, and add your favorite toppings.
Bake: Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Serve: Slice and enjoy your homemade pizza hot out of the oven!
