Ingredients
Scale
- 375 grams (3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant or active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon each dried oregano and garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 264 grams (1 cup – 2 tablespoons) warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the sheet
- 1 1/4 cup homemade pizza sauce (or purchased)

- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- optional topping: 4 cups (3 ounces) baby arugula, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine flour, yeast, salt, oregano, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Stir in warm water and olive oil until combined.
- Knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
- Shape the dough into a ball, sprinkle with flour, and roll out to fit the sheet pan. Grease the pan with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Press the dough into the corners of the pan and cover with a towel. Let it rest for 45 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F.
- Bake the dough for 6 minutes un-topped.
- Remove from oven, add sauce, cheeses, and salt. Bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Optional: Mix the arugula with olive oil and salt. Top the pizza with arugula and torn basil before serving.
Notes
If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour while kneading.
Use a knife to cut the pizza to reach the edges easily.
Substitute store-bought pizza sauce for homemade if preferred.
