🍕 Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
300 ml warm water
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1 tsp yeast
-
500 g flour
-
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Toppings:
-
Tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
Shredded mozzarella cheese
-
Your favorite toppings (like pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, or fresh veggies—whatever you love!)
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, salt, sugar, and yeast. Stir until the yeast dissolves.
- Gradually add flour, mixing as you go, until a dough starts to form.
- Add olive oil and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
2️⃣ Let the Dough Rise
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
- It should double in size—this gives you that light, airy crust!
3️⃣ Shape the Dough & Rest Again
- Punch down the dough and knead briefly.
- Divide it into two equal portions (for two medium pizzas).
- Cover and let them rest for another hour—this makes the crust extra soft inside and crispy outside!
4️⃣ Add the Sauce & Toppings
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape (round, oval, or rustic!).
- Spread a layer of tomato sauce and add your favorite toppings & cheese.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection
- Place the pizza on a baking tray or pizza stone.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
6️⃣ Slice & Enjoy!
-
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice it up!
-
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade masterpiece! 🍕🔥
