🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup warm water

For the Sauce

1 cup tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 550°F.
2This high heat is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.
3If your oven does not go this high, use the highest setting available.
4In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, instant yeast, and sugar.
5Add warm water and mix until a dough forms.
6Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2 minutes until smooth.
7If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
8If it is too dry, add a bit more water.
9Let the dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
10This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to shape.
11While the dough is resting, prepare the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
12Add olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano to the saucepan.
13Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
14Add tomato sauce, and salt to the saucepan.
15Stir well to combine.
16Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
17This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
18If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a bit of water.
19After the dough has rested, shape it into a ball.
20On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
21Aim for about 1/4 inch thick for a classic crust.
22If you prefer a thinner crust, roll it out to 1/8 inch.
23Transfer the shaped dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
24Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border for the crust.
25Add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, pepperoni, or vegetables.
26Be careful not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, as this can make the crust soggy.
27Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
28Keep an eye on the pizza as it bakes, as oven temperatures can vary.
29If the crust begins to brown too quickly, reduce the oven temperature slightly.
