Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 cup of warm water. Stir gently, and let this mixture sit for 5–8 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour in the bloomed yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until combined.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5–7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a greased bowl for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Shape the risen dough into a large circle, approximately 12 inches in diameter, and transfer to a greased pizza pan.
  5. Spread a layer of sauce over the black crust, then sprinkle with cheese and your favorite toppings. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Let the pizza cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
