Notes
Prepare the Pizza Dough:
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the Pizza Sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add crushed tomatoes or tomato passata, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go (usually around 475°F/245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack.
Assemble the Pizza:
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper.
Add the Sauce and Toppings:
Spread the prepared pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced bell pepper, red onion, olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, and fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese.
Bake the Pizza:
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the pizza.
