Ingredients
For the Dough:
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
3/4 cup warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce:
1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
For the Topping:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: a sprinkle of chili flakes or fresh basil
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead into a smooth dough (around 8-10 minutes). Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
Make the Sauce:
Mix marinara sauce with garlic powder and oregano in a bowl. Set aside.
Roll Out the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the dough.
Generously top with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Serve & Enjoy:
Let cool for 2 minutes, slice, and serve warm. Add fresh basil or chili flakes for an extra kick!
Pro Tip
For an extra crispy crust, bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone. Your cheese pizza will have that authentic pizzeria vibe!
Buon appetito!
