  • 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast or 2 ¼ teaspoons
  • 1.5 cups Warm water 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Salt

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. 2. Add the olive oil, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. 3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  5. 5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  6. 6. Punch down the dough and divide it into portions for pizzas or calzones. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
