Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 c warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast

  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3 C All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Whisk well and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  • Add the olive oil, salt, and flour to the bowl.
  • Mix on medium speed until a soft, smooth dough forms.

  • Divide the dough into equal portions and roll into dough balls.
  • Press each dough ball into the cups of a greased muffin or cupcake pan, shaping the dough to create a crust.
  • Add your favorite pizza toppings.
  • Bake at 400°F for approximately 16 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If using a liquid sweetener such as honey or maple syrup, slightly reduce the amount of water.
  • This dough works well for pepperoni pizza cups, cheese pizza cups, or any of your favorite pizza toppings.
  • Makes approximately 12 pizza cups, depending on the size of your muffin pan.
