Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Sauce

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

  2. 3

    Add the San Marzano tomatoes and salt, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in fresh basil and remove from heat.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Pizza

    Preheat your oven to the highest setting (around 250°C / 482°F).

  2. 5

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into your desired pizza shape.

  3. 6

    Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the dough. Top with shredded mozzarella, black olives, anchovies, cremini mushrooms, and capers.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the assembled pizza onto a pizza stone or baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  2. 8

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
