Method

Dough Preparation

1

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

3

Combine and Knead

Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until combined, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

4

Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Assembling the Pizza

5

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

6

Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle.

7

Add Sauce and Cheese

Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

8

Add Vegetables

Evenly distribute sliced bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, black olives, and fresh spinach over the cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes on top.

9

Bake Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

10

Slice and Serve

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into wedges and serve hot.
