Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 can (28 oz) Crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (reduced sodium)
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil to the yeast mixture, then gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and transfer it to a well-oiled 12x17 inch baking sheet. Stretch and press the dough into the edges of the pan.
Spread the crushed tomatoes evenly over the dough, followed by the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly before serving.
