Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Season with oregano and garlic powder.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as pepperoni, vegetables, or herbs.
Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
