Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 7g sachet fast-action yeast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 300ml warm water

For the Tomato Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Toppings:

  • 200g mozzarella cheese, sliced or grated
  • Fresh basil leaves (for Margherita)
  • Optional toppings: Pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, or any preferred ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast, olive oil, and warm water. Mix until it forms a dough. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean cloth and leave to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 240°C (475°F) or the highest setting. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  4. Shape the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking tray or pizza stone.
  5. Add the Sauce and Toppings: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base. Add mozzarella and your chosen toppings.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
