Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour (all purpose or bread flour), divided
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for coating)
  • 3/4 cup warm water (105-115F, or 40-45C)
Topping Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store bought or homemade)
  • 6 oz mozzarella cheese slices (150g)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Cookie cutter or glass
  • baking sheets

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 210C (410F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine 1 cup of the flour with the yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and basil in a large bowl.
  3. Add olive oil and warm water, and use a wooden spoon to combine thoroughly.
  4. Add in another 1 cup of flour, and stir. If dough is still too sticky, keep adding flour gradually until a maximum of another 1/3 cup is added.
  5. Coat another large bowl with olive oil and transfer dough to this greased bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until puffy and doubled in size.
  6. Once dough has doubled, coat your hands and a work surface lightly with flour, then remove dough from the bowl and knead gently just a few times until dough is deflated and smooth.
  7. Roll the dough out into a thin layer, then cut out about 20 dough circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Place them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  8. Add a teaspoon or so of pizza sauce to the middle of each dough circle, leaving a border of dough without sauce.
  9. Cut each slice of mozzarella into 4 squares, and top each pizza with a square of cheese.
  10. Add a sliced black olive or toppings of your choice to the center of each pizza.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown on the bottom, with bubbly melted cheese. Do not overbake.
