Here's how to Start:

• Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees.
• Stretch 1 pound dough on a floured pizza peel, large wooden cutting board or parchment paper.
• Top as desired, then slide the pizza (with the parchment paper, if using) onto the stone or baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes

The Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough Whisk 3 3/4 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Make a well and add 1 1/3 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 packet yeast. When foamy, mix in 3 tablespoons olive oil; knead until smooth, 5 minutes. Brush with olive oil, cover in a bowl and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Divide into two 1-pound balls. Use 1 pound per recipe unless noted.
