Ingredients
For the pizza dough:
- 3 ¼ cups Strong white bread flour
- 2 teaspoon fast-action dried yeast
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 1 ¼ cup lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For the topping:
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1 cup sliced closed cup mushrooms
- 1 cup mozzarella ( cut into cubes)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- To make the dough, add the water in a jug, mix in the yeast, olive oil and sugar and a tablespoon of flour.
- Set aside for 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then, pour in the yeast mixture, garlic powder and oregano.
- Knead into a dough for 5 minutes until it's elastic and no longer sticks to your hand - use more flour if necessary.
- Shape the dough into a ball.
- Slightly oil the bowl and the dough, cover with clingfilm and a clean tea towel, then leave to prove for 1-2 hours until it doubles its size.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured work surface, knead it around for a bit to push the air out, then divide it into two equal balls and roll one ball to the size of your pizza pan.
- You can either make the second pizza at the same time, or wrap it in clingfilm and refrigerate the second dough ball to use it later on.
- Cut the peppers into strips.
- Spread the tomato sauce over, add the mozzarella cubes, mushrooms cut into slices, peppers and olives.
- Sprinkle some oregano and cheddar cheese on top, then one pizza is ready to go in the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve hot!
