Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the instant yeast, warm water, and olive oil. Stir until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
- In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool.
Step 3: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two portions for medium pizzas. Roll out to your desired thickness.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza
- Place the rolled-out dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add your favorite toppings like pepperoni, veggies, or sausage.
Step 5: Bake the Pizza
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
Tips for Success
- Crispier Crust: Brush olive oil on the edges of the crust before baking.
- Custom Sauce: Add a pinch of chili flakes or Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Make It Cheesy: Add shredded cheddar or Parmesan for a cheese blend.
