One Bowl Basic Pizza Crust step by step

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and sugar..
2. Make a dent in the middle and add olive oil, and water warmed to the touch..
3. Use a spatula to quickly combine the ingredients..

6. Use your hand to punch the dough releasing any air, then divide into 3. Cover with wrap to prevent drying and leave for 5 to 10 minutes..
7. Making sure that the dough doesn't stick, use your hands to spread out the dough on a pizza pan greased with olive oil..
8. Adjust the shape so the center is thin and create a lip around the edge. (This is easily done if you work on the spot closest to you while turning the pizza pan)..
