2.       Knead the Dough: Put the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the activated yeast, olive oil, salt and sugar. Mix and knead to a soft dough.

3.       Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. The dough should double in size.

4.       Roll out the dough: Take the risen dough on a floured surface and roll it out with a rolling pin. You can roll it out as thin as you like.

2.       Boil the Sauce: Put the mixture in a saucepan and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes. You can add water to adjust the consistency of the sauce.

Pizza Toppings

Here are some popular toppings you can add to your pizza:

·         Mozzarella cheese

·         Pepperoni, sausage or ham

·         Fresh vegetables: peppers, mushrooms, olives

·         Fresh herbs: Basil Thyme

Tips to Consider When Making Pizza

1.       Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 220-250 degrees before making the pizza. This will make the pizza crispier and more well-baked.

2.       Spread the dough thinly: The thinner you roll out your dough, the crispier your pizza base will be. Thicker dough creates a softer texture.

3.       Sauce Control: Be careful not to use too much sauce; otherwise the pizza dough may become soggy.

4.       Using the Right Cheese: Using quality cheese increases the flavor of the pizza. Mozzarella may be the best choice.
