- Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 2 packets active dry yeast
- 2 Tbsps sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil (plus more for bowl and brushing)
- 2 tsps coarse salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups prepared Pizza Sauce
- 3 cups shredded Mozzarella
- 2 ripe Tomatoes (sliced)
- fresh oregano (whole)
- crushed Red pepper flakes (garnish)
Preparation steps
1.
Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and brush top with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead 1 or 2 times before using.
2.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3.
Divide the dough into three portions. Shape each piece into a heart shape about 1/2 inch thick. Brush with remaining olive oil, and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each pizza. Sprinkle cheese over pizza sauce, and arrange tomatoes on top.
4.
Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted and crust is browned. Garnish with fresh oregano and red pepper flakes before serving.
