Instructions
Activate the Yeast

Let the Dough Rise

Shape the Dough

Add Sauce and Toppings

Bake the Pizza

Slice and Serve

Notes
- Use warm water, not hot, so the yeast works well.
- Knead the dough well to make it soft.
- Let it rise long enough so it becomes fluffy.
- Don’t add too many toppings or it will get soggy.
- Brush the crust with olive oil before baking for more flavor.
- Bake on the lowest oven rack for a crispy bottom.
