Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 & 1/2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
2 & 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast or 1 package instant yeast
3 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

Place in a large bowl the warm water, sugar, and yeast. If using active dry yeast, wait 5 minutes for it to proof. It will look foamy.
Add in your flour, olive oil, and salt.
Mix well with a sturdy wooden spoon.
Need by hand for 6 to 7 minutes on a floured surface (such as a clean counter, or large cutting board), or you can use a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment for five minutes.
Oil the inside of your pot of the instant pot. Make sure it is well coated on the bottom as well as the sides of the bottom half. Place your dough on the bottom of the pot. Lock your lid closed. Select yogurt on your instant pot for 1 hour.
After one hour, turn off your Instant pot. Remove the dough as it is ready to be rolled out, topped with your favorite pizza toppings, and enjoyed!

Notes

How to Store Homemade Pizza Dough

Refrigerator: Pizza dough can be made 2–3 days ahead of time. After the dough has risen, place it in a lightly oiled, covered container or wrap it well in plastic wrap. Keep it refrigerated until you're ready to use it. Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 1 hour before making your pizza so it can come to room temperature.

Freezer: Homemade pizza dough freezes well for up to 3 months. Divide the dough into pizza-sized portions, shape them into balls, and wrap each one tightly before placing them in a freezer-safe bag.

Thawing: Transfer frozen pizza dough to the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before rolling it out.
