Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar 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 a dough forms, then transfer 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 together crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
• Set aside for later use.
• Assemble and Bake the Pizza
• Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°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 baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
• Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top of the cheese.
• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
• Add Toppings and Serve
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss the arugula with olive oil.
• Pile the dressed arugula on top of the baked pizza.
• Drizzle balsamic glaze over the arugula.
• Slice the pizza and serve hot.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven before transferring the rolled-out dough onto it.
• Feel free to customize the toppings by adding other ingredients like sliced olives, red onions, or goat cheese.
