Ingredients

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix bread flour, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, combine warm water, olive oil, and yeast. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix into a dough.
  2. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, then let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
  3. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a baking stone or steel inside. Roll out the dough and place on the preheated surface.
  4. Spread tomato puree over the crust, then add sliced sausage and bell peppers. Sprinkle mozzarella, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is charred and bubbly. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
