Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the sauce by combining the canned crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper in a small saucepan.

Step 7

Simmer the sauce over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 10

Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a border for the crust.

Step 11

Top the pizza with sliced red onion, red bell pepper, and black olives.

Step 12

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are cooked.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Slice and serve your dairy-free classic Italian pizza immediately.
