Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

  2. 6

    Shape Pizza Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. On a floured surface, stretch or roll out each portion into a 12-inch circle.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce evenly over each pizza base. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Add Fresh Basil and Season

    Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter them on top of the cheese. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with red pepper flakes and salt to taste.

  5. 9

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges. Enjoy hot!
