Who doesn't love pizza? Pizza is a delicious meal that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and with this recipe, you don't have to order in or buy frozen pizza dough ever again! This dough recipe yields delightful homemade pizza crust that is crispy, chewy, and easy to make. The pizza dough can be refrigerated, making it easy to have homemade pizza whenever you want without waiting for the dough to rise. You can also customize your pizza with different toppings, for a tasty and healthy meal that satisfies everyone's cravings.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Stir well.
2.	Add the olive oil (if using) and cold water. Stir until the mixture forms a rough, shaggy ball.
3.	Autolyse for 10 minutes. This means allowing the dough to rest without kneading to let the flour absorb the water.
4.	Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, adding more flour if needed.
5.	Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic, and let it rise for 2 hours at room temperature. You can also refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
6.	Preheat your oven at 500°F (or the highest temperature your oven can reach) and flatten your dough into your desired shape.
7.	Add your toppings and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Enjoy!
