Pizza Dough and Toppings
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add olive oil and salt.
Gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle or circle on a floured surface.
Transfer the dough to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
Add Toppings
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle dried oregano on top. Add fresh basil leaves if desired.
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice into pieces, and serve hot.
