Pre-heat your oven to 475 degrees.
Fill up a glass measuring cup with 1 cup of warm water and add 1 tablespoon of sugar.Add 1 tablespoon of yeast and stir it in until the yeast and sugar have dissolved.Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it bubbles up nicely for you.
Prepare the Homemade Pizza Sauce and slice up your topping while you wait for the yeast to foam up.
Pour the foamy water mixture into your stand mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons of oil.
Add 1 cup of flour and mix on low for 30 seconds.While the mixer is on, add the rest of the flour. You need between 2 ½ - 3 cups total. Watch the dough while it mixes. When it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, you have enough flour. Another way to tell if you have enough flour, is by touching the dough. If it sticks like crazy to your finger, you need more flour. Once you have enough, let it mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.
Spread a bit of olive oil on your pizza pans or stones with your fingers. You can also use a large cookie sheet. 🙂 No need to rush out and buy special pans. While your fingers and hands have a bit of oil on them, remove the dough from the bowl and shape it into two equal balls. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Please don't be tempted to skip the "dough resting" step. It will be much harder to roll out if you don't give it a chance to rest. While you wait you can finish chopping any toppings you are going to use or complete the Homemade Pizza Sauce.
Roll each dough ball out into a thin crust. If you like your crust a bit thicker, roll it less to make a smaller pizza. Cover each pizza with Homemade Pizza Sauce 2-3 cups mozzarella cheese and whatever toppings suit your fancy. I chose ham, pineapple, green peppers and red onions.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown along the bottom.
Cut and enjoy!
