Method
- In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
- Punch down the dough, divide into two portions, and roll out into desired shapes. Place on the preheated stone.
- Top with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until crust is golden and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
