A delightful homemade pizza recipe with a crispy crust and flavorful toppings.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
Whisking the dry ingredients ensures even distribution.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Mix until the dough is soft but not sticky; add a little more flour if needed.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops the gluten, giving the dough structure.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Covering the bowl with a damp towel prevents the dough from drying out.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures the pizza bakes evenly.
Roll out the dough into a circle and place it on a baking sheet.
Roll the dough thinner in the center for an even bake.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
Use the back of a spoon for an even layer of sauce.
Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Mixing cheeses adds depth of flavor.
Top with sliced bell peppers and mushrooms.
Distribute toppings evenly for balanced bites.
Bake the pizza for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.
Slice and serve the pizza warm.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing to prevent the cheese from sliding off.
