Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

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

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

Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Assembling and Baking the Pizza

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for at least 30 minutes before baking the pizza.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Transfer the shaped dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Drizzle olive oil over the top, and sprinkle dried oregano and black pepper evenly over the cheese.
