Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and olive oil. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, kneading until a soft dough forms. Let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
- While dough rises, prepare the toppings. Once dough has risen, roll it out into a pizza shape. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (optional) or olive oil, then add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Top with sliced tomatoes, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle cornmeal on the crust for extra crispiness. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
