10 Inch (8 Slices) Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

4. 4

   Shape the Pizza

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to a 10-inch circle. Transfer it to a pizza pan or a baking sheet.

5. 5

   Add Toppings

   Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by dried oregano and black pepper.

6. 6

   Bake the Pizza

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice into 8 pieces, and serve.
