Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the olive oil and warm water. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough starts to form.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, ensuring a good texture.
- Shape the Crust: Roll out or press the dough into your desired pizza shape on the prepared baking sheet, aiming for about 1/2 inch thickness to achieve a nice crust thickness.
- Initial Bake: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until it turns golden brown to set the base before adding toppings.
- Add Toppings and Finish Baking: Remove the crust from the oven, spread your preferred sauce and toppings, then return to the oven until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly, about 5-10 more minutes.
Notes
- Warm water helps activate the baking powder for better rising.
- Do not over-knead to keep the crust tender.
- You can customize toppings as desired after the first bake.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and ease cleanup.
- This crust is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
