Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> I like to use all-purpose flour. If you like a chewier crust, bread flour is a good substitute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeast:<\/strong> I used active dry yeast. Instant yeast also works in a pinch. Make sure your yeast is fresh. You can check by dissolving 1\/2 teaspoon yeast in 1\/2 cup of water. If the mixture gets foamy and bubbly in 5-10 minutes, your yeast is good to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water:<\/strong> Always use warm water. The ideal temperature at which yeast blooms is 40.5 \u00b0C or 105\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> Regular granulated sugar. This helps feed the yeast. Honey or agave syrup is a good substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil:<\/strong> It adds flavor and richness and helps form a crispier pizza crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt:<\/strong> It enhances flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
