Prompt Title: how to make pizza dough from scratch

Making pizza dough from scratch is not as difficult as it may seem. Here is a simple recipe to make a delicious pizza crust:

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110-115°F)
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

3. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.

4. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a large, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal pieces. Use one piece at a time to make your pizza.

7. Roll the dough out to your desired thickness and shape. Add your desired toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Enjoy your homemade pizza!
