Mise en Place 🔪
Directions
Prep 🥒
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Shape the Dough: Use your fingers to gently stretch and press the dough to the edges of the baking sheet. Let the dough rest for another 15-20 minutes.
Your Focaccia-style pizza dough is now ready for you to add your favorite toppings and bake to perfection!
