Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (280 g)
- 1 packet instant yeast (7 g)
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm water (about 40–45°C / 105°F)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (plus a little extra for brushing)
For the topping
- ¾ cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced into rings)
- ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Stir in olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven
- Set your oven to 220°C (425°F). If you have a pizza stone or baking steel, place it in to preheat as well.
Shape the base
- Punch down the dough and divide as desired (you can make one large pizza or two medium ones).
- Roll into a 12-inch circle (about 30 cm) on parchment paper or a lightly floured surface.
Assemble the pizza
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the base.
- Sprinkle with most of the mozzarella.
- Arrange sliced tomatoes and bell peppers on top.
- Add remaining cheese and a pinch of oregano, salt, and pepper.
Bake
- Transfer the pizza (with parchment, if using) onto the hot stone or baking tray.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot!
