Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3/4 cup warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest in a warm area for 20 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough rises, prepare the tomato sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon dried basil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired pizza size.

Step 8

Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough.

Step 10

Arrange the toppings: sliced red and yellow bell peppers, sliced red onion, sliced mushrooms, and sliced black olives over the sauce.

Step 11

Optional: sprinkle 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast over the toppings for a cheesy flavor.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Slice and serve hot.
