Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl. 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 ingredients together 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.
• Prepare the Pizza Sauce
• In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
• Cook the sauce over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 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 out the dough into a round shape to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet.
• Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pan or sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Sprinkle the chopped artichoke hearts and sliced black olives over the sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves on top before serving.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza pan or baking sheet in the oven before placing the rolled-out dough on it.
• Feel free to add other toppings like sliced bell peppers, red onions, or mushrooms to customize your pizza.
