Here is a simple and easy pizza dough recipe to make at home: Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water (about 105°F/40°C)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 to 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Stir in olive oil.
  3. Add 2 cups of flour and salt, then mix until a ball starts to form. Add more flour as needed to create a dough that is slightly sticky but manageable.
  4. Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding up to ½ cup more flour if needed.
  5. (Optional) Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rise for 10 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Roll the dough to your desired shape, add toppings, and bake in a preheated oven (around 500°F/260°C with a pizza stone if you have one) for about 11-14 minutes or until golden brown.

This method is quick, easy, and does not require a long rise time, making fresh pizza at home in about 30 minutes possible.
