Combine Ingredients. First, measure all the dry ingredients into your mixing bowl and stir them together.Add in warm water and olive oil. Start working dough with wooden spoon until dough starts forming together into a ball.
Knead dough. Once dough starts coming together, I use my hands to gently knead it within the bowl for just a couple minutes, slowly adding more flour as needed. Knead until dough ball is smooth and elastic.Note - You could mix up dough in the same ingredient order listed, but in the bowl of your stand mixer instead. Then use the dough hook attachment to knead. Roll out dough. Grease your pizza pan (or baking stone). Put your ball of dough in the center of the pan. Starting with your hands, gently working dough to spread out towards edges, eventually using your rolling pin to evenly distribute dough across pan.
Prebake. Prebake crust (no toppings) in a 375 degrees F oven. 10 minutes for thinner crust / 13 minutes for thicker crust.
Add toppings and bake. After crust is prebaked, remove from oven and carefully add your favorite toppings as pan and crust will be hot. Continue to bake about 12 - 15 minutes longer until cheese is melted, and crust is golden brown.
Let cool slightly before enjoying!
