A perfect pizza crust is one that is thick and chewy with a crunchy bottom part– that's the way most people like it! Let's get cooking!

If you are planning to have a pizza party at home and you want to make a homemade pizza crust that no one will forget, here is a simple homemade pizza crust recipe to try!

Homemade Pizza Crust Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons of yeast
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 1/3 cup of warm water
  • ¾ tablespoon of salt
  • 3 ½ cup of all purpose flour (unbleached)
  • cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar (granulated)

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1.

Place yeast and warm water into a bowl and mix it well. After stirring it properly, let it sit for five minutes until it becomes dissolved and foamy. Add in the olive oil, flour, sugar and salt. Mix manually for about a minute.

After fifteen minutes, put on toppings and bake for about 12-15 minutes. If you wish to make the edges more brownish, you can move up the crust into the top rack. That will create a crispy crust.
