Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup onion sliced
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Rolling pin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture, adding olive oil. Stir until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
  5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  7. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the pizza sauce over the base, sprinkle with cheese, and add your chosen veggies.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the rolled-out dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
