Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Sliced bell peppers
• 0.5 cup Sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the bowl, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal on the parchment to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6–8 inch circle or oval and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then add your desired toppings such as pepperoni, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your individual pizzas!
