Quick Pizza Dough

If you plan on cooking your pizza straight away, either preheat the oven to 450°F or fire up the pizza oven.

Whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Add water and oil, and mix until a rough dough forms.

Flour a work surface. Tip the dough on the surface and knead until the dough is smooth.

Leave the dough to rest for at least five minutes. If you want a lighter pizza crust, you can leave the dough to rise for an extra 30 minutes.

Using a bench scraper or a large knife divide the dough into two equally-sized balls.

Flatten the dough balls out into 12-inch disks using a rolling pin.

Grab a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle some of the cornmeal on top.

Place the pizza dough disc on the paper and brush the top with olive oil.

Add your toppings and let the pizza sit for about 10 minutes.

Place the pizza in the oven (or pizza oven) and cook for 10-15 minutes.

Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
