How to make pizza crust step-by-step? 

Step 1: Add two cups of all-purpose flour (maida) in a mixing bowl. 

Step 2: Add 1 teaspoon yeast, salt to taste, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. 

Step 3: Mix all the ingredients well. 

Step 4: Add little by little water and knead the flour. Do not need it too much. Knead until it’s not sticky. If it is still sticky add one more tablespoon of olive oil. 

Step 5: You can either cover the bowl with a plastic wrap so that no air enters inside or simply store it in an airtight container. 

Step 6: Let the dough rest for about an hour. 

Step 7: Take out the dough from the airtight container. You will see that the dough has raised and is double in size. Also, its texture is sticky. To make it soft, apply some olive oil to it and start kneading it into a soft dough. Sprinkle some flour in between to avoid stickiness. 

Step 8: Once the dough is soft divide it into two portions and give a ball shape to each portion. 

Step 9: Now flatten one of the balls and dip it in the flour. Let the flour be covered from both sides. 

Step 10: Start rolling each dough ball into a thin round shape. You can roll the dough a bit thick if you like a thick crust. To make the perfect round shape crust, roll it from the edges. 

Step 11: Pizza Crust is ready. Spread pizza sauce on the crust. Add your favorite toppings and cheese. Then bake it.
