Attachment:
For the pizza dough:
3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups of warm water
2 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
For the pizza sauce:
1 (14 oz) crushed tomato
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper
For the toppings:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite toppings (eg pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives)
instructions:
1. Prepare the pizza dough:
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add olive oil, flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a dough.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is soft and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in oil, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
2. To make pizza sauce:
Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauce until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning accordingly.
3. Making pizza:
Preheat your oven to the highest setting (usually 500°F or 260°C).
Pour over the dough and cut into two pieces for two pizzas.
On top, roll each piece of dough into a round circle (about 12 inches in diameter).
Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Assemble the pizza:
Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange whatever you like on top of the cheese.
5. Bake pizza:
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
6. Service:
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Cut wedges and serve hot.
Tip:
For a crustier crust, preheat the pizza stone or parchment paper in the oven before placing the pizza.
You can experiment with different toppings and cheeses to suit your taste preferences.
This pizza dough recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for later use.
