Master Pizza Dough Recipe

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions.

Roll out each portion into a thin circle or desired shape.

Place the rolled out dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Add your favorite toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
