Cheese Pizza
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
1 tsp sugar
¾ cup warm water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
For the Topping:
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Olive oil for brushing
Instructions:
Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to form a dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Shape the dough: Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it into a circle or desired shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
Add toppings: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top. Add garlic powder, oregano, and basil for extra flavor.
Bake the pizza: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Serve: Let the pizza cool for a minute before slicing. Enjoy your delicious homemade cheese pizza!
