Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir the mixture until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Toppings
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the tomatoes evenly.
• Shape and Bake the Pizza
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle or rectangle.
• Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the dough with olive oil.
• Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Top with the cherry tomatoes and torn basil leaves.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven before baking the pizza.
• Feel free to add other toppings such as sliced onions, olives, or mushrooms to customize your pizza.
