Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil while mixing until the dough comes together.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour.
-
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, dried oregano, garlic powder, dried basil, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce.
-
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into individual pizza rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet or pizza peel lined with parchment paper.
-
Spread the sauce evenly onto each pizza round, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings.
-
Carefully transfer the pizzas onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
-
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
