Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp INSTANT yeast (It HAS to be instant to do it this way!)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (or whatever oil you have on hand)
  • 1 cup WARM water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stir together flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast in a large bowl. 
  • Put olive oil in a measuring up, then fill the cup with WARM water to the 1 cup line.  Give it a stir, then dump it into the dry ingredients.
  • Stir to combine.  You will PROBABLY need a little more water.  Add a spoonful at a time until dough comes together into a moist, shaggy ball.  (Not super wet and sticky though - if you add too much water, add a bit of flour to counteract it.)
  • Sprinkle a bit of flour over the surface of the dough and your hands, then rub your palms together so they're coated.  Pick up the dough and form it into a ball, by tucking the ends underneath.
  • Spread it out on a large oiled cookie sheet, or divide it in two and spread it on two oiled pizza pans.  I like to put the ball of dough in the centre of the pan and use my hands to spread it to the edges.
  • Add whatever toppings you like, then bake in a preheated oven.  If you use a cookie sheet make sure it's in the centre of the oven and it will probably take around 14 minutes (depending on how heavy your toppings are) - check it to make sure it doesn't burn.  For two pizza pans it might take 16 or 18 minutes, but swap the pans half way so that each one has some time closer to the bottom of the oven. If you use higher heat it will take less time to cook.
  • Enjoy! :)

Notes

If you want to make a medium-thick crust, double the recipe and then use a rectangular cookie sheet or two round pizza pans.
