Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast forms a creamy foam, 5 to 8 minutes.
2. Mix 1 3/4 cup flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture; mix well until dough comes together.
3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough is too sticky, about 2 minutes. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a greased pizza pan.
