Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
½ small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 ¼ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
  • Sift flour, sugar, 1 tablespoon oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Mix egg and oil into dry ingredients; stir in yeast mixture. When dough has pulled together, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, then place dough in bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Cook and stir diced tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, 1 tablespoon oregano, garlic, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Punch down dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a knife to divide dough into two equal pieces--do not tear. Shape dough into rounds and let rest for 10 minutes. Form dough into rectangles, and place onto prepared baking sheet. Spoon tomato sauce over dough. Sprinkle with 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese; top with bell pepper, onion, and mushroom. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over top.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crust is browned and crisp and cheese has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

I've made this pizza several times and it always turns out great. I love that it's so easy to make and that I can use whatever toppings I want.

This pizza was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
