Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 1 can (14 oz) vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • ¼ cup sliced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup black olives

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  • Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let proof for 1-2 hours.

Make the Sauce:

  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Simmer for 45-60 minutes, then cool before using.

Assemble the Pizza:

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place the pizza stone or steel inside.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Spread a layer of sauce over the dough.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and add desired toppings.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Serve:

  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with fresh herbs and additional seasonings if desired.

Notes

  • Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality flour and yeast for best results. Fresh, seasonal produce enhances the flavor.
  • Dough Handling: Avoid over-kneading to prevent a tough crust. Let dough rise adequately for a light, airy texture.
  • Sauce Consistency: Adjust thickness by adding tomato paste or water. Let cool before applying to avoid sogginess.
  • Baking Tips: Preheat the stone or steel and avoid opening the oven door frequently to maintain high heat.
