Ingredients:

• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Your favorite toppings

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
2. Stir in the olive oil and salt. Add the flour gradually, stirring until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a 12-inch circle.
7. Place the dough circles on a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza pan.
8. Spread the crushed tomatoes over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
9. Sprinkle the oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper over the sauce.
10. Top with the mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

• For a crispier crust, preheat a baking sheet in the oven while it's preheating. Then, place the pizza on the hot baking sheet before baking.
• If you're using a lot of toppings, you may need to bake the pizza for a few minutes longer.
• Be careful not to overcook the pizza, or the crust will become dry.
• Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from being too runny.

Enjoy!

Here are some other tips for making a great homemade pizza:

• Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pizza.
• Don't overcrowd the pizza. If you add too many toppings, the pizza will not cook evenly.
• Be creative with your toppings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to pizza toppings. Try experimenting with different combinations to find your favorites.
• Have fun! Making pizza at home is a great way to get creative and enjoy a delicious meal with friends and family.
