Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Rolling Pin
- Clean countertop or silicone baking mat (for kneading and rolling)
- Pizza pan, baking sheet, or pizza stone
- Parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- ¾ cup Warm water
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder or dried oregano for flavor. Optional
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a clean surface for kneading. Lightly flour the countertop or use a large mixing bowl to prevent sticking.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to create a well-balanced mix.
- Add Olive Oil and Warm Water: Make a small well in the dry ingredients. Pour in olive oil and gradually add warm water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mass will begin to combine.
- Knead the Dough: Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Pivot the heel of your hand across the dough and push the dough then fold it.
- Shape the Dough: Divide the dough into two portions for smaller pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly.
- Roll Out the Dough: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to your desired thickness. For a thin crust, aim for ¼ inch; for a thicker crust, aim for ½ inch.
- Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pan, and it’s ready for toppings!
