Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for about 15 minutes to blend flavors.

Assembling the Pizza

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

    Bake the Pizza
