1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2
In another bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
3
Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4
Make the Tomato Sauce
In a saucepan, combine crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to develop flavors.
5
Assemble the Pie
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough to fit a square baking pan. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough.
6
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
8
Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
