Easy Homemade Pizza Dough
Fluffy, soft, delicious and quick to put together
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F to add to yeast)
- 1 tsp white sugar (to add to yeast)
- .25 oz active dry yeast (.25 oz is often sold as 1 packet)
- 2.5 cups bread flour you can also use regular flour, but bread flour helps make the dough fluffy!
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp rosemary optional add in for flavor
- 1/4 tsp rubbed sage optional add in for flavor
- 1/4 tsp onion powder optional add in for flavor
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder optional add in for flavor
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz tomato pizza sauce
- 8 oz shredded mozarella cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix warm water (110 degrees F) with sugar. Next add the packet of yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, until it forms a frothy top layer.
- While waiting for the yeast, combine and mix flour, salt, olive oil, rosemary, sage, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Combine the flour mixture with the yeast.
- Mix all ingredients until well blended and let the dough sit for 5 minutes.
- Break the dough into several balls for small individual pizzas or keep in one big ball to roll out for a single large pizza. (I break off a handful of dough for my toddler to make a personal pizza, and use the rest to roll out a big pizza.)Sprinkle a tiny bit of flour onto a flat surface to roll the dough out on.
- Oil a baking sheet or a pizza pan.
- Place the rolled out crust/s on the pan/s.
- Add your pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you like!
- Bake for 20 minutes.
