Fast Pizza Dough

Mix yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large bowl

Add olive oil and salt to yeast mixture.

Stir in most of the flour, reserving about ½ cup, until dough starts to come together. 

• If it is still too wet, add remaining flour a bit at a time and knead between each addition. The dough should pull itself into a ball as you stir but should still be slightly sticky to the touch. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of water or olive oil and stir or knead to work the liquid into the dough.

Cover dough with a tea towel and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. 

• If you have more time, let it rest for up to an hour to develop more flavor.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll or shape normally.

Top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Bake with a hot baking steel at 500°F for 5 minutes and then broil on high for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is browned.
