To make pizza dough in 3 hours, you will need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 envelope)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Here’s how to make the dough:
Method:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and the olive oil.
- Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a ball. Cover it with a cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Add your desired toppings to the pizza and bake it for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Enjoy your homemade pizza!
