Ingredients

  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Toppings:

  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded ham
  • ½ cup cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients including flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Add the water and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. Using a stand mixer, mix it for 6 minutes or manually knead for 8 minutes or until smooth.
  • Transfer into a lightly floured flat surface and divide the dough into two. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 30 minutes up to an hour until the size is doubled.
  • When the dough is ready, punch the dough to release any air bubbles. Cut it again into two and shape into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough to your desired size.
  • Place the flatten dough into a pizza pan or iron-cast pan. Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza to prevent the dough from bubbling up in the oven or pan.
  • Cook in the oven for 5 minutes at 200°C or 392°F. For the pan pizza, cook it in a stove over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Add your favorite pizza toppings. Cook for another 5 minutes in the oven until the cheese is melted. For the pan pizza, cover with the lid and cook for another 5 minutes. Slice and serve!

Notes

I made a simple ham and cheese pizza with a tomato sauce and barbecue sauce base.
