Ingredients
2¾ c. lukewarm water (warmer than room temp but not hot!)
1 T. dry yeast
1 T. cane sugar
1 (heaping) T. kosher salt
¼ c. olive oil
6½ c. all-purpose flour
Instructions
Combine the water, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. It doesn't have to be completely dissolved, but I do try to dissolve most of the yeast.
Add the olive oil and stir a bit.
Dump in all the flour and stir to combine. I use my hands to combine the last bits of flour with the water mixture. No need to knead!
Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 3 hours. When risen, the dough should double in size.
Put the pizza stone on the lowest rack of the oven, and preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
Use a plastic knife or spatula to slice the dough into three pieces.
Pull out one of the pieces of dough and form into a ball by wrapping the outside edges under (don't stress, just make a ball in about 5 seconds).
Roll the dough ball out onto a floured surface using your hands and/or a rolling pin. I usually start with my hands, picking the dough up to work out any lumps, and then finish with the rolling pin if I want a bigger, thinner crust.
Transfer the dough onto the pizza peel lined with parchment paper (don't skip the parchment paper or it will be a bit of a nightmare trying to put it in the oven!).
Top the pizza as desired.
Slide the pizza off the pizza peel and onto the stone (with the parchment paper still underneath the pizza).
Bake for 5 minutes, remove the parchment paper very carefully, and then bake for an additional five minutes or until the crust is crisp and golden.
Slice, serve, and never order delivery pizza ever again.
