  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly to activate the yeast.

  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm spot.
  6. In a saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  8. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
