Ingredients

Pizza Dough and Toppings

Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

Turn the dough onto 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 cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

6. Shape the Pizza

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thinness. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

7. Add Toppings

Spread the vine-ripened tomato sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, and add fresh basil leaves and black pepper to taste.

8. Bake the Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

9. Slice and Serve

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy your thin crust pizza!
