Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until frothy.
2. In another large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the yeast mixture and the olive oil.
3. Mix the dough until it comes together and then knead for about 5-7 minutes on a lightly floured surfac until smooth and elastic.
4. Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, cover the bowl with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Optional: After 15 minutes of rising the dough in a warm place you could preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
5. After 30 minutes or when the dough has doubled in size, punch down and roll out on a generously floured surface to the desired thickness.
6. Once you have rolled out the dough, place it onto a pizza stone or baking sheet covered with cornmeal.
7. Top the dough with your choice of toppings, and bake in the center of the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown.
