Pizza Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to prepare for baking the pizza.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pizza

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place on a pizza stone or baking tray. Spread tomato sauce over the base, followed by mozzarella cheese. Add feta cheese, olives, red onion, and bell pepper on top. Finish with fresh basil.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
