Homemade Pizza:
-
Step 1
Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached and mix on low speed until well combined.
-
Step 2
Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon olive oil and beat until the dough forms a ball, about 5 minutes.

Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
-
Step 4
Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil.
-

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces.

Step 7
Cover each with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes before making your pizza.
