Instructions
In a large bowl, pour 320 ml of warm water (32C / 40C) or (90F/105F). Add the sugar and dried yeast, whisk well, and live for a few minutes, until a froth will form on the surface.
Add the olive oil and half of the flour (250 gr), whisk until smooth, cover with cling film and live in a warm place for about 60 minutes.
Remove the cling film, add the remaining flour and the salt, mix, and knead the dough for a few minutes, then divide the dough into 2 pre-oiled trays and let it rest for 10 minutes. With the fingertips, press down on the dough until it covers the whole tray.
Choose your toppings, the list is endless, tomato, mozzarella, basil, for a classic Margherita
(the secret to a crispy base) place the tray on the stove, to a medium heat, and let the bottom crisp up until you will see the crust starting babbling. Then place in a preheated oven at 220C (430F) and bake for 5/7 minutes.

Notes
HINT AND TIPS:
If you have any leftovers, not a problem, store in the fridge for 3 days max, and reheat in the oven before eating.Do not overload the pizza with tomato sauce and cheese, as this will release humidity during the cooking process.As I said ,the list of topping is endless, but as Italian I beg you, pineapple is not on the list!Allergens: GLUTEN suitable for vegans and vegetarians (depending on the yeast used)
