Ingredients

• Pizza Dough:

• 2 1/4 teaspoons 2 1/4 (1 packet) active dry yeast

• 1 teaspoon 1 sugar

• 1 cup 1 warm water (110°F/43°C)

• 3 cups 3 all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon 1 olive oil

• 1 teaspoon 1 salt

• Pizza Sauce:

• 1 can 1 (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes

• 1 teaspoon 1 dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon 1 dried basil

• 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 garlic powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Pizza Toppings:

• Shredded mozzarella cheese

• Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, sausage, veggies, etc.)

Directions

• Pizza Dough:
• In a bowl, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, and salt.
• Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
• Pizza Sauce:
• In a saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
• Assembling and Baking:
• Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
• Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
• If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper on a pizza peel.
• Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
• Add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
• If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the parchment paper onto the hot stone in the oven. If not using a stone, place the pizza on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
• Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy your homemade school pizza!
