Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast in 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F) and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Step 2: Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Step 3: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour in a warm spot until doubled in size.
- Step 4: Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside for at least 30 minutes to mimic a wood-fired oven.
- Step 5: Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a pizza peel dusted with flour.
- Step 6: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then arrange 8 oz sliced fresh mozzarella and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes on top.
- Step 7: Sprinkle 4 oz crumbled feta cheese and 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves over the pizza, drizzle with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and season with black pepper.
- Step 8: Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Step 9: Remove from oven, let cool for 2 minutes, slice, and serve immediately.
