Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water (100 degrees F to 110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, grated
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 3/4 cups tomato puree (preferably San Marzano)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Kosher salt
1 8-ounce bag shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)

Steps:

Make the dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 1 minute. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or large inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and 2 cups water. Stir in the oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. (The sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.)
Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. On a lightly floured surface, stretch 1 ball of dough into a 12- to 14-inch round. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper, then slide the parchment with the dough onto a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet.
Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce on the crust in a thin layer, then scatter 1 cup mozzarella on top. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Repeat to make the second pizza.

Tips:

Use a pizza stone or baking sheet for a crispy crust.
Pre-bake the pizza crust for a few minutes before adding the toppings to prevent a soggy crust.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings, or it will be difficult to cook through.
Bake the pizza in a hot oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
