Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 packet of instant yeast.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and mix well.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3/4 cup of warm water.
Mix until a soft dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough to a lightly floured pizza stone or baking sheet.
Spread 1 cup of no-salt-added tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Evenly distribute 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (low sodium) over the sauce.
Arrange 10 fresh basil leaves, sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms over the cheese.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve!
