Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Toppings of your choice (e.g. pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil and warm water.
2. Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin, circular shape on a floured surface. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over each dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the entire surface.
8. Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions.
9. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
