Preparation Steps
1
Measure out the ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, and water. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it rest for 5 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add the olive oil and the activated yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
3
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thickness.
5
Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, oregano, and freshly ground black pepper.
6
Brush the pizza dough with the garlic-infused olive oil mixture, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella and Parmesan.
7
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces, then distribute them evenly over the pizza.
8
Place the pizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper. Slice and serve immediately.
