Instructions

Prepare the dough

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit about 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven

Set to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat, if available.

Shape the dough

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle (or your preferred shape).
Place on parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza peel.

Add toppings

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle half the cheese.
Arrange olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli evenly across the pizza.
Top with the remaining cheese.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano or chili flakes if desired.

Bake the pizza

Transfer to the preheated oven (onto the hot stone or sheet).
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Serve and enjoy

Let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm with a side salad, garlic bread, or simply on its own!
