I love home made pizza & this crust is the best. It’s easy, works well, & tastes great. It’s soft & chewy. Just right.
One night, I made pizza just for me. The dough was easy to make. I smiled as it rose. The olive oil makes it rich & butter like but has no butter.
I add garlic powder for a kick. The crust is good plain or with lots of stuff on top. It’s a treat for me.
I’ve made this crust lots of times. It never fails. The dough starts soft & gets chewy after bake. It puffs & stays light but strong.
It holds lots of stuff on top. Be it a simple pizza or one with lots, it’s great. You can change it how you like. Make it thick or thin. It’s my go to for a quick, good meal.
So This is How to prepare pizza crust !
What you need:
Flour
Salt
Sugar
Dry
yeast
Warm water
Olive oil
Garlic powder (if you want)
Why these are good:
Flour keeps the dough soft & strong. Salt boosts taste & keeps shape. Sugar helps the yeast work & makes it sweet.
Yeast makes the dough light & a bit tangy. Warm water gets the yeast going. Olive oil adds richness & keeps dough soft & golden. Garlic powder boosts taste.
How to prepare pizza crust:
First, mix warm water, sugar & yeast.
Let it sit. It gets frothy & smells like bread. Mix flour & salt in a big bowl.
Add yeast mix & olive oil.
Stir ’til dough forms, then knead on a floured spot ’til smooth.
Put dough in a greased bowl, cover, & let rise.
Let it double in size.
Punch it down & roll it out. Heat oven to 475°F.
Put dough on a greased sheet & bake ’til golden. Add stuff & bake ’til melty.
How I serve it:
I slice it hot so cheese is stretchy. I add a salad or sauce for dipping.
Cool leftovers & reheat when needed.
Tips that always work:
Water should be warm, not hot. Sticky dough is okay, don’t add too much flour.
Heat the oven first for a crispy bottom.
Bake crust a bit before adding stuff for extra crisp. Brush olive oil on edges for a golden finish.
