# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 4 cups bread flour (plus additional for dusting)
02 - 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
03 - 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
04 - 1 teaspoon sugar
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1½ cups warm water (approximately 110°F)
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and allow the mixture to rest for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add olive oil, bread flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
03 - Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, incorporating additional flour if sticky.
04 - Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
05 - Punch down the risen dough and split into two equal portions for large pizzas.
06 - Shape each portion into a ball and let rest for 10–15 minutes, covered.
07 - Roll each dough ball on a floured surface to your preferred thickness.
08 - Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Add desired toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 475°F for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
