How to Make a Pizza dough

Ingredients (All of which you can get at a supermarket near you)

2 1/4 teaspoon yeast

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon icing sugar/or normal sugar

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/3 cups water

2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

1. Put the yeast and all-purpose flour into a bowl, add sugar, salt and olive oil and mix. Add water slowly to the mixture and stir. Then begin kneading the dough until it forms a smooth and elastic dough.
2. Shape the dough into a ball then place it into the bowl coated with olive oil. Make sure the dough is well coated then cover it with a damp kitchen cloth or a plastic wrap and let it sit for 1.5 or 2 hours.
3. Later, knead the dough, divide it into two balls and let it sit for 10 minutes. You can use one of the balls and freeze to be used later or the next time you crave a pizza. Stretch out the dough and shape however you want.

Before putting whatever toppings you want, spread tomato sauce on the pizza dough until satisfied. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the sauce and then evenly spread your desired toppings. Then slide it into the oven. Bake until the crust is brown and the cheese is golden. This will take 10 -15mins or 3-5 mins depending on how thick your dough is.
