Steps

• Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water. 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, remaining warm water, and olive oil. Stir 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 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pizza sauce by combining the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
• Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal portions. Roll out each portion into a round pizza crust.
• Place the pizza crusts on baking sheets or pizza stones. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
• Top each pizza with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, bell peppers, black olives, ham, and artichoke hearts. Leave one quadrant of each pizza without toppings for the "Four Seasons" effect.
• Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle fresh torn basil leaves over the "Four Seasons" quadrant of each pizza.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza crusts for 5 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
• Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences. You can use different vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
