Steps to make the crust:
-
2
Pour the warm water into a small bowl, and add the sugar and yeast.
-
3
Let the mixture sit until foamy.
-
4
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
-
5
After the yeast mixture is ready, mix with flour, olive oil, Italian seasoning and salt.
-
6
Combine well.
-
7
This can be done with a wooden spoon, however I chose to use my hands (if choosing to mix with your hands, make sure they are clean.)
-
8
If mixture is looking too sticky, add a little bit of flour.
-
9
When everything is mixed well, knead the dough for 5 minutes or until dough forms a smooth, elastic ball.
-
10
Cover dough with a warm, damp towel, and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
-
11
Grease pizza pan (I would suggest a pan that has large holes in the bottom, this makes the crust crispier) by brushing it with olive oil.
-
12
After dough has rested, use your fingers to spread dough onto the greased pizza pan.
-
13
Bake the dough in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
-
14
Allow the crust to cool completely before preparing pizza.
-
15
Steps to make the pizza:
-
16
Spread pizza sauce onto the baked crust.
-
17
Be sure to use a good amount of sauce.
-
18
Sprinkle cheese onto sauce, and top with your favorite toppings.
-
19
Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
