Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 tsp active dry yeast in 3/4 cup warm water (110°F). Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Step 3: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Step 5: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch oval. Transfer to the baking sheet and brush the surface with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  6. Step 6: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes with 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly over the dough.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and edges are crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
