Ingredients

Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Cover the dough and let it ferment in the refrigerator overnight (8-12 hours).
  4. In a saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough into a circle and place on a baking sheet.
  6. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then add mozzarella, bell peppers, red onions, olives, and ham.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
