Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Make Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Once the yeast is activated, add it along with olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Pizza Assembly
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape Pizza Base
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the base, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Add Fresh Toppings
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
Final Touch
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Cut into slices and serve immediately while hot.
