For the crust

Knead quickly into a cohesive mass to ensure all the flour is combined. Drizzle with olive oil, cover, and set in a warm place until the dough has risen about double in size, 1 to 1 ½ hours.2 cups bread flour, ½ tsp salt, 2 ¼ tsp (1 pkg) instant yeast, 1 cup warm water (100-110°F), 2 tbsp olive oil
- Once risen, knead the dough into a ball and place it on a floured surface. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes and press or roll into a 14-inch circle for a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Transfer to a cast iron skillet, adjusting to fit as needed. Continue with the pizza toppings.
