Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
• 1 1/4 cups (110°F) warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
• 1/4 cup sliced red onions
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• handful for garnish fresh basil leaves

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar. Slowly add 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F) and 2 tbsp olive oil, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. Step 2: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
3. Step 3: While dough rises, make the sweet tomato sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Simmer over medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes until thickened and fragrant.
4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat.
5. Step 5: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment paper.
6. Step 6: Spread the sweet tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add 1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives and 1/4 cup sliced red onions evenly over the pizza.
7. Step 7: Slide the pizza with parchment onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until crust edges are golden and cheese is bubbly.
8. Step 8: Remove pizza from oven and immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil leaves over the top. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
