Homemade Pizza Dough

Mastering the art of homemade pizza dough is a game-changer for any culinary enthusiast, offering a canvas for endless creativity and the satisfaction of crafting something truly from scratch. This recipe promises a perfectly chewy, golden crust that rivals your favorite pizzeria.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, plus a little extra for dusting
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar

- 1 tsp of vanilla extract (a splash of vanilla magic)

- 1 cup of sour cream (for that tangy twist)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) – getting it just right is key.
