2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water (plus a little extra if needed)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough starts to form.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape on a piece of parchment paper or a floured surface.
Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve.
