Ingredients

1 cup very warm water almost hot to the touch
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast or instant yeast
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoons salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475℉.
In a small bowl, add water, oil, sugar and yeast. Let it proof until bubbly - this should take about 5 minutes or less. If the mixture doesn't get puffy and bubbly, it probably means that your yeast isn't good anymore.
In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, Parmesan cheese and salt. Pulse until well combined. Turn the food processor to on, and slowly pour the yeast mixture in. Let it run until the mixture starts to form a dough ball. It is ok if it looks shaggy.
Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and cut into two even halves. Use your palm to flatten the dough ball into a disc. Roll the disc from the center with a rolling pin out to the edge, turning the dough each time you roll it to create an even circle. The end circle should be around 11 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough circle to a pizza pan or pizza stone. Add pizza sauce, then cheese, then your favorite toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese in the middle of the pizza is bubbly and melted.
This makes enough dough for 2 medium pizzas. This dough is best used when it is freshly made and truly only takes 15 minutes! You can refrigerate the dough and use within 3-5 days by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap if needed.
