Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir in warm water and olive oil. Knead until a smooth dough forms, about 5 minutes.

Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.

Roll the dough out very thin on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter.

Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto parchment paper.

Spread a thin layer of sauce over the dough. Top with mozzarella, parmesan, and your chosen toppings.

Slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.
