Pizza Dough
Method
Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, then layer feta cheese, olives, red onion, bell pepper, and artichoke hearts. Finish with fresh basil.
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, slice, and serve hot.
