Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Grease pan with a tablespoon of oil and place dough on it. Stretch dough as best you can, then cover it with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400. Remove wrap and stretch again.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons oil on the top of dough and spread it around evenly, then dimple the top of the dough with your fingers. Optionally, add toppings.
  • Bake for 22-28 minutes until golden brown with slightly crisp edges. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut and serve.

Notes

Most topping choices should be added before baking, however if you prefer some fresh herbs like basil can be added after.
