- Slowly pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Lightly knead the dough until it’s smooth and stretchy - it should bounce back when pressed!
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Spray a pizza stone or baking sheet with cooking oil. Spread the dough evenly with your hands.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and bake the crust for about 10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden.
- Add your favorite toppings, then return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
