Homemade Pizza

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.

Stir in the olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. Stir until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat in the oil.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a 12-inch circle.

Place the dough on a greased baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough.

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Add your desired toppings.

Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
