When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that amore!
To make this heavenly dough you'll only need five ingredients. 1 1/2 cups of warm water, 1 package of active dry yeast, 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour(or bread flour...it will give you a crispier crust, but all-purpose works great too), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Start off by adding warm water into a bowl like this one and sprinkling in your yeast. Let it sit for 5 or so minutes and whisk to dissolve completely.
Next, add olive oil, flour, salt, and sugar into your bowl and mix together with your hands. Continue kneading for 5 minutes. (You can use a mixing paddle to mix ingredients and then use a dough hook to knead it, if you have them)
Place your ball of dough in a bowl that has been lightly coated with olive oil and turn the dough around in the bowl so that it is coated with oil.
Now, turn your oven on to 150 degrees and once it reaches that temperature, turn it off and let your bowl of dough sit in the oven until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
