Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 can (28 oz) Crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (reduced sodium)
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil to the yeast mixture, then gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and transfer it to a well-oiled 12x17 inch baking sheet. Stretch and press the dough into the edges of the pan.

Step 7

Spread the crushed tomatoes evenly over the dough, followed by the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Step 10

Allow the pizza to cool slightly before serving.
