Preparation

Dough Preparation

1. Activate Yeast

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

2. Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

3. Knead the Dough

Mix until the dough starts to come together. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Let it 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

5. Sauté Garlic

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

6. Make the Sauce

Add crushed red pepper flakes, canned crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

Assemble and Bake

7. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

8. Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

9. Add Sauce and Toppings

Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza base, then add shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves on top.

10. Bake Pizza

Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

11. Serve

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
