Add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese melts.
