Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
• Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
• Transfer the dough onto 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.
• Make the Pizza Sauce
• In a bowl, mix together the 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.
• Place the rolled-out dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Top the sauce with the sliced green and red bell peppers, cooked Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil leaves.
• Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the rolled-out dough for 5 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
• Feel free to customize the toppings by adding other vegetables or your favorite meats.
