Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees F)
1 tsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc.)
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir to dissolve and let sit for 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough in a greased 9x13 inch pan.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce and add your desired toppings.
Bake the pizza for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
