Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a small bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
2. Make the Sauce:
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add crushed tomatoes, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
4. Assemble the Pizza:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Spread a generous layer of sauce over the crust.
Add shredded mozzarella, fresh mozzarella slices, and toppings.
5. Bake:
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and enjoy!
Tips for the Ultimate Pizza:
For a smoky flavor, grill the pizza instead of baking.
Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or chili oil for an extra kick.
Experiment with toppings to make it your own masterpiece.
