Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 2 cups (250g), plus extra for dusting
  • Active dry yeast – 1 teaspoon
  • Warm water – ¾ cup (180ml), about 110°F (43°C)
  • Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
  • Sugar – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt – ½ teaspoon
  • Tomato sauce – ½ cup (120ml), preferably plain or lightly seasoned
  • Garlic powder – ¼ teaspoon
  • Dried oregano – ½ teaspoon
  • Salt and black pepper – a pinch each
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese – 1 cup (100g)
  • Pepperoni slices – ½ cup (optional)
  • Sliced black olives – ¼ cup
  • Chopped bell peppers – ¼ cup
  • Mini pepperoni or ham cubes – ½ cup (optional)
  • Mushrooms, thinly sliced – ¼ cup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C) with sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add olive oil and the activated yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as you go.
  4. First rise: Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Divide and shape: Punch down the dough gently to release air. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small disc about 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter using a rolling pin. Transfer discs to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Prepare sauce: Mix tomato sauce with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Assemble kits: For each pizza disc, spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce and spread evenly, leaving a small border. Place shredded mozzarella and toppings into separate small containers or muffin tins for easy access. Keep dough discs wrapped in plastic wrap if prepping ahead.
  8. Bake pizzas: When ready to eat, preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Add sauce and toppings on dough discs, then bake on baking sheet or pizza stone for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese melts.
  9. Cool and serve: Let pizzas cool for a couple minutes before digging in.

Notes

Use King Arthur all-purpose flour for best dough texture. For gluten-free, substitute with gluten-free baking flour and xanthan gum. Baking on a preheated pizza stone or steel yields a crispier crust. Watch oven closely to avoid burning. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. Assemble fresh before baking.
