Difficutly: very easy
Time: 5 Min
Portion: 1 serving
Ingredients:
5 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3 teaspoons dry yeast
2 tbsps plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups lukewarm water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly grease a 12″ x 9″ baking sheet. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast, then make a well in the center.
Add the olive oil and the 2 cups lukewarm water.
Mix until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 5 minutes.
Roll out dough and press into prepared baking sheet, making a “crust” area that slightly overlaps the edge of the pan. Brush lightly with olive oil just on the center (not on the “crust” part).
Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, poke with a fork in random areas in the center to allow for the air to circulate and not create bubbles, then bake for 5-7 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread sauce and cheese and toppings on top, leaving a border. Bake until golden, 20-30 minutes. It may even be longer/shorter, depending on your oven.
Cut using a pizza cutter, and serve!
