Pizza Crust
A simple homemade pizza dough recipe that will kick up pizza night!
Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast packet, and kosher salt in the mixing bowl. While mixing, add the hot water and 2 tbsp of Olive Oil to the mixture. Beat well until the dough forms into a ball.
Scrape the ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead into a smooth firm ball.
Add the remaining 2 tsp of Olive Oil to coat the bottom/sides of a clean bowl. Add the dough into that bowl and cover it with a towel. Leave in a warm area to rise for at least 1 hour.
Turn the ball of dough back onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal parts (for the 2 pizza crusts). Cover each separately with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for another 10 minutes.
Roll the dough out into the desired size and thickness for your pizza (14" is recommended). Be sure to poke some holes in the dough with a fork to prevent the dough from bubbling while it cooks. Add your favorite toppings and pizza sauce and bake!
