In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast in 90 ml of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 150 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little olive oil and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness for the personal pizza, usually around 8-10 inches in diameter.
For the sauce, combine 150 grams of canned crushed tomatoes, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 0.5 teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl. Mix well.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a border for the crust.
Sprinkle 100 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and add 50 grams of your preferred toppings.
Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
