Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Heat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and place a baking tray or pizza stone inside to warm.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a circle roughly 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter.
Transfer it to a sheet of baking paper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

This Pepper Pizza is best enjoyed straight from the oven — crisp on the outside, gooey in the middle, and packed with colourful, Mediterranean-inspired toppings. Perfect for sharing, though you might just want to keep a few slices to yourself!
