A delightful homemade cheese pizza recipe with a flavorful twist.
Combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Add 1 cup of flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the remaining flour while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Knead on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
Coat the dough ball with olive oil, place it in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 40 minutes.
Place the bowl in a warm area to help the dough rise.
Punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased pizza pan.
Use your hands to evenly spread the dough.
Mix the tomato puree, tomato paste, minced garlic, and chopped basil in a bowl.
Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza base.
Leave a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Distribute the cheese evenly for consistent flavor.
Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 500°F for 12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor.
