No electric mixer or fancy dough hook needed here! Mix everything in one bowl, let rise for an hour, knead 1-2 times, and that’s it!

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil , plus more for bowl and drizzling
2 tsp. granulated sugar
2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water

Method

01

Pour the water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, oil, and salt. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms.
02

Lightly brush another large bowl with a little olive oil. Place dough inside and drizzle a little oil over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
03

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead 1 or 2 times, forming into a round. Let rest for about 10 more minutes.
04

Use or store as is for 1 large pizza, or divide into 4 equal portions for individual pizzas.
