Ingredients Method Notes

المقادير
  

  • For the dough: 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon yeast + 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Warm water as needed
  • For the sauce: 1 can of strained tomatoes or grated tomatoes
  • Garlic, oregano and salt
  • Grated mozzarella
  • Toppings: olives, peppers, mushrooms, slices of meat or chicken

Method
 

  1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt, add the oil and water, and knead until you have a soft dough. Let it rise until doubled in size (about an hour).
  2. Make the sauce by cooking the tomatoes with garlic, oregano and salt until it thickens slightly.
  3. Roll out the dough on an oiled baking tray to your preferred thickness.
  4. Spread the sauce over the dough, then the cheese, then the toppings.
  5. Bake the pizza in a well-preheated oven at 220°C for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges turn golden.
  6. Take it out, sprinkle with a little oregano and a drizzle of olive oil, and serve hot.

ملاحظات

A very hot oven is the secret to a crisp base — preheat it thoroughly before baking.
Go easy on the sauce and toppings so the dough doesn't get soggy.
You can make the dough ahead and keep it in the fridge for a full day.
