Homemade Pizza Dough

In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

Measure out the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare a clean surface for kneading the dough.

Once the yeast is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with olive oil.

Mix the ingredients until a rough dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Once risen, punch down the dough and let it rest for a few minutes before rolling it out.
