Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp active dry yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Pour in 3/4 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil, then mix and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or steel inside to heat thoroughly for 45 minutes.
  3. Step 3: On a floured surface, roll the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a pizza peel or parchment paper. Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the surface, sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, arrange 100 g thinly sliced sucuk sausage and 1 sliced roasted red bell pepper evenly on top.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, slice, and serve immediately.
