1️⃣ Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine warm water, salt, sugar, and yeast. Stir until the yeast dissolves.

Gradually add flour, mixing as you go, until a dough starts to form.

Add olive oil and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

2️⃣ Let the Dough Rise

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.

It should double in size—this gives you that light, airy crust!

3️⃣ Shape the Dough & Rest Again

Punch down the dough and knead briefly.

Divide it into two equal portions (for two medium pizzas).

Cover and let them rest for another hour—this makes the crust extra soft inside and crispy outside!

4️⃣ Add the Sauce & Toppings

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape (round, oval, or rustic!).

Spread a layer of tomato sauce and add your favorite toppings & cheese.

5️⃣ Bake to Perfection

Place the pizza on a baking tray or pizza stone.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Slice & Enjoy!

Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice it up!

Serve hot and enjoy your homemade masterpiece! 🍕🔥
