Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups flour + more for working the dough
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 and 1/4 cup warm water + more as needed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil + more to oil pizza pans
  • garlic powder, dried herbs, Parmesan cheese or other add-ins optional

Instructions

  • If baking immediately, preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar (and any dry add-ins, if desired) in a medium sized bowl.
  • Measure warm water in a liquid measuring cup and add olive oil. Stir.
  • Dump water and oil into dry ingredients and stir to combine. If mixture is too dry, add more water one tablespoon at a time until dough forms a shaggy ball with no dry spots.
  • Set dough aside and oil two pizza pans well.
  • Use the (floured) heels of your hands to push the dough ball down into a cylinder.  Then use fingers to gently spread dough over pan to edges.* Sprinkle with more flour anytime your fingers meet a sticky section.
  • Sprinkle dough with a bit of flour so it isn't sticky. Divide dough in half. Place a ball of dough in the centre of each pizza pan.
  • Cover with sauce and your favourite toppings and bake in preheated oven. Mine took 11 minutes, but ovens vary.
  • Enjoy! :)

Notes

* This gets easier with practice.  The dough will get springy if you work it too much.  After mixing my dough I prep my toppings, then spread the dough in the pan.  While I finish prepping my toppings I let it rest in the pan for a few minutes, and then come back to it.  It has usually shrunk slightly so I gently press it back to the rim of the pan before adding toppings.
