2 teaspoons yeast (one packet of yeast, if you don’t have a jar of it)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 – 3 cups of flour
Proof the yeast with the sugar in the water. You want it to be warm enough that when you stick your finger in it, it’s like very warm bath water. It’ll take about ten minutes for the yeast to fully bloom. Add the olive oil and salt, then start adding flour. Start with one cup at first, and then add in half cup increments. Stir until the dough forms a ball around your spoon, and the flour is incorporated. Let the dough rise for about an hour until it’s doubled in volume. Gently deflate and knead for a few minutes until the dough is somewhat elastic. You don’t want to knead too much, like you would for regular bread. Just a few minutes. Shape dough into a ball and cut in half. Makes two pizza crusts. Bake (with toppings) at 375 F for 18-20 minutes.
