Equipment

  • Stand mixer with dough hook
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone

Ingredients

  • 2–2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil + additional for brushing
  • ¾ cup warm water about 110°F

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the dough: In a stand mixer bowl, add 2 cups flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, and mix with the dough hook until combined.
  3. Add flour as needed: Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough is soft and slightly tacky but not sticky.
  4. Knead: Continue mixing for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Let rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape and bake: Roll or stretch dough into your desired shape. Add sauce and toppings, then bake at 475°F for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
