Ingredients

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
  3. While dough rises, chop herbs and set aside. 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.
  4. Top with sliced tomatoes, herbs, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and bubbly.
  5. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
