1 teaspoon sugar

How To Make homemade everyday pizza

Step 1

In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water. Sprinkle a scant amount of sugar over the top to help the yeast bloom.

Step 2

While this is happening, gather together the other ingredients and put in the same bowl. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spoon 20 times. If the dough gets too thick, get your hands in there and do some mix/kneading for about half a minute.
Step 3

Let the dough rest for at LEAST five minutes.
Step 4

Preheat oven to 425°.
Step 5

While the dough is resting, make your sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
Step 6

Prepare toppings of your choosing.
Step 7

Now that your dough has rested for a bit, shape on a greased 15” pizza round, or pat into a greased 9 x 13” pan. I like fluting my edges, similar to a pie crust, just so I have a kind of “handle” to hold my pizza in my hands.
Step 8

Now add the sauce and your desired toppings, pop in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes.
Step 9

Let cool for about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
