Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
  2. Gradually add yeast mixture to flour, stirring until a dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes, then let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the preheated stone.
  5. Spread tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with mozzarella and green peppers.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil and olive oil before serving.
