Total: ~1 hr 40 min

Yield: 1 medium (2–3 servings)

Ingredients & Measurements

Dough

• 250 g all-purpose flour (≈2 cups)
• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 150 ml warm water (≈2/3 cup)

Sauce

• 200 g tomato paste (≈3/4 cup)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp paprika powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Topping

• 150 g mozzarella, shredded
• 50 g cheddar (optional)
• Pepperoni / chicken / vegetables (to taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add olive oil and warm water gradually. Knead until smooth and elastic (8–10 min). Cover and let rise for 60 min.
2. Cook the sauce: Heat olive oil, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add tomato paste, oregano, basil, paprika, pepper, and sugar. Simmer 5 min; set aside.
3. Shape: Punch down dough; roll into a 25 cm round. Place on a lightly oiled tray or pan.
4. Assemble: Spread sauce, sprinkle cheese, add toppings, then more cheese.
5. Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C / 392°F. Bake 15–18 min until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
6. Serve: Rest 2–3 min, slice, and enjoy!

Tip: For a thicker “pan pizza” vibe, brush the pan with 1–2 tbsp oil and let the shaped dough rest 10 more minutes before topping.
