Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it is doubled.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

Roll Out the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Assemble the Pizza

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel (for a pizza stone).

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and add your favorite toppings.

Bake the Pizza

Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Serve

Let the Pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
