Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for 15 minutes.
6. Preheat your wood-fired pizza oven to 500°F (260°C). Roll out each dough ball into a 12-inch circle and add your favorite toppings.
7. Transfer the pizzas to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal and slide them into the oven. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Remove the pizzas from the oven, slice, and enjoy hot.
