Dough

2 cups 00 bread flour

1 tsp instant yeast

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp fine salt

3/4 cups warm water

1 tbs olive oil

Sauce

1/2 cups tomato passata or pizza sauce

1/4 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1/4 tsp Dried oregano

1/8 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

Topping

1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tbs parmesan cheese, finely grated (optional)

1 tsp butter or olive oil for crust

Finish & Garnish

1/4 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

0 to taste red pepper flakes (optional)

Method

Dough

Activate and mix

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt. Make a well and add the warm water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on low with the dough hook for 4–5 minutes.

First rise

Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rest in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until roughly doubled in size.

Sauce

While the dough rises, mix the tomato passata (or pizza sauce) with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and the optional sugar in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

Assemble & Bake

Preheat

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating. If using a baking sheet, lightly oil or line it.

Shape dough

Punch down the risen dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. For a kid-size pizza, divide into 2 equal portions (makes two small pizzas) or keep whole for one larger. Press or roll one portion into a 7–8 inch round about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet or a piece of parchment paper (for a stone).

Sauce and cheese

Spread about 1/4 cup of the sauce evenly over the shaped dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Scatter 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauce. If using, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated parmesan.

Finish crust

Brush the exposed crust with a little butter or olive oil to promote browning and add flavor.

Bake

Bake on the preheated stone or baking sheet for 8–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden. Rotate halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots.

Garnish and serve

Remove pizza from oven, sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian seasoning and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Let rest 2–3 minutes, then slice into kid-friendly wedges and serve warm.
