Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir until the dough comes together, then transfer it 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.
• Prepare the Pizza Sauce
• In a small bowl, mix crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
• Assemble and Bake the Pizza
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into your desired pizza shape and thickness.
• Transfer the rolled-out dough to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Arrange the sliced bell peppers and black olives on top of the sauce.
• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Garnish with torn fresh basil leaves before serving.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the rolled-out dough for 5 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
• Feel free to add other toppings like sliced onions, mushrooms, or pepperoni according to your preference.

Information

• This pizza is a perfect combination of tangy tomato sauce, sweet bell peppers, salty black olives, and gooey melted cheese.
• You can customize the toppings and adjust the spice level by adding red pepper flakes or chili powder to the sauce.
