Ingredients

• 4 cups bread flour
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/4 cups crushed tomatoes
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 14 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups bread flour, 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1 1/2 cups warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough and knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. Step 2: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, until doubled.
3. Step 3: While dough rises, make sauce by heating 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 1/4 cups crushed tomatoes and 1 tsp dried oregano, simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 500°F and prepare a large 16-inch pizza pan or baking sheet by lightly oiling it.
5. Step 5: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 16-inch thin round. Transfer to the prepared pan.
6. Step 6: Spread the garlic-oregano tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle 14 oz shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then finish with 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Step 8: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden with some blistering and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
9. Step 9: Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Slice into large foldable wedges and serve.
