Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the toppings
- ½ cup marinara sauce or pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- ½ cup black olives sliced
- ½ red bell pepper thinly sliced
- ½ green bell pepper thinly sliced
- ½ cup mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup small broccoli florets lightly steamed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

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!
