A delightful homemade pizza recipe featuring a flavorful crust and a variety of delicious toppings.
Combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl and let it sit until foamy.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
In a food processor, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and pulse to combine.
Pulse gently to avoid overworking the dough.
With the processor running, add olive oil and additional water until a dough ball forms.
Add water gradually to achieve the right dough consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface, then place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures the pizza cooks evenly.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a pizza pan sprinkled with cornmeal.
Cornmeal prevents the dough from sticking and adds a nice texture.
Spread pizza sauce over the dough, then add cheese, seasonings, and toppings.
Layer the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.
Slice and serve the pizza warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
