Pizza is a popular Italian dish enjoyed worldwide. The most crucial component of making pizza is the dough itself. This recipe is for basic pizza dough made from scratch. The dough is a combination of dry yeast, sugar, water, olive oil, all-purpose flour, bread flour, salt, garlic powder, and dried basil. The dough is kneaded, allowed to rise, and then rolled out to the desired shape and thickness.

The result is a fresh and flavorful pizza that can be enjoyed at home with family and friends.
