Ingredients
- 1½-2 cups all-purpose flour (about 195g, divided, plus more for rolling)
- 1 package instant or quick yeast (2¼ tsp)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅔ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Sauce, cheese, toppings, as desired
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, oregano, and garlic powder. Add the water and oil and stir until combined. (It will be very sticky.)
- Gradually add and knead in just enough of the remaining flour so that a soft but not sticky dough forms. (It will still be tacky but shouldn’t stick to your hands.)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Set the bowl in a warm, draft-free place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray your favorite pizza pan with nonstick spray.
- Roll out the dough to fit the pan. Place the dough on the pan and gently stretch to reach the edges. For a thicker crust, fold the edge of the pizza dough back on top of itself to form a ½" border.
- Top with sauce, cheese, and toppings as desired.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until it is cooked to your preferences.
- Broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the cheese, if desired.

Notes
*Because we are using instant yeast instead of active dry yeast, the temperature of the water matters less, because it does not need to be proofed. Warm water still works best (never hot), but instant yeast is not fussy.
