Garlic Mayo

Fresh avocado with lime, cilantro, and onion.

Guacamole

In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Activate the Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Make the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Let the Dough Rise

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Preheat the Oven

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a round shape (about 12 inches in diameter) or stretch it with your hands.

Shape the Dough

Transfer the stretched dough to a parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Add the Sauce and Cheese

Top the cheese with pepperoni slices and sprinkle dried oregano over the pizza.

Add Toppings

Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Bake the Pizza

Remove the pizza from the oven, add fresh basil leaves on top, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and enjoy!
