Easy Homemade Pizza Crust
This is the best homemade pizza crust! It is easy to make, has only five ingredients, and can be made several days in advance if needed.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 1/2 cup flour
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a large bowl or stand mixer. Whisk to combine and then let sit until bubbles have formed on the top, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add the flour, olive oil and salt and mix with the dough hook on medium-low speed until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough is shiny and elastic, about 5-8 minutes. Alternatively you can knead by hand for about 10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough, use dough immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and store in fridge for up to 3 days before making your pizzas.
