- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Add your preferred toppings on top of the cheese.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
