Ingredients:

For the Dough:

- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) **active dry yeast**

- 1 1/2 cups **warm water**

- 4 cups **all-purpose flour**

- 1 teaspoon **salt**

- 1 tablespoon **olive oil**

- 1 teaspoon **sugar**

For the Sauce:

- 1 can (14 ounces) **tomato sauce**

- 2 cloves **garlic**, minced

- 1 teaspoon **dried oregano**

- 1 teaspoon **dried basil**

- Salt and **pepper** to taste

Toppings:

- **Mozzarella cheese**, shredded

- **Pepperoni**, sliced

- **Bell peppers**, sliced

- **Mushrooms**, sliced

- **Onions**, sliced

- **Olives**, sliced

- **Fresh basil**, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   - In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

   - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil, and sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

   - Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Sauce:

   - In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.

   - Pour in the tomato sauce and add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

   - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

   - Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle on a floured surface.

   - Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or parchment paper.

   - Spread a generous amount of sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

   - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

   - Add your desired toppings such as pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and olives.

Bake the Pizza:

   - Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet.

   - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

   - Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Tips for a Delicious Pizza:

- Use **fresh ingredients** for the best flavor.

- Don't overload your pizza with toppings to ensure it cooks evenly.

- Experiment with different cheese blends and toppings to suit your taste.

- For a crispier crust, preheat your baking surface before placing the pizza in the oven.

- Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite beverages!
