Traditional pizza dough

Pizza dough is really simple to make, and traditional pizza dough makes a difference to the quality of the finished pizza.

Ingredients

3 1⁄2 cups flour (all purpose)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 1⁄2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Microwave the water for 1 minute and set aside.

Pour the flower into a medium-sized bowl - you want to have a good sized mound - and mix with sugar and salt.

Then make a small valley in the center. Into the valley, pour the yeast.

Then pour on the water slowly and top with olive oil. Let it rest a minute, and then mix thoroughly.

Knead and roll flat on a large board.
