Ingredients

For the pizza dough:

  • 3 ¼ cups strong white bread flour
  • 2 teaspoon fast-action dried yeast
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

For the topping:

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 cup sliced closed cup mushrooms
  • 1 cup mozzarella ( cut into cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • To make the dough, add the water in a jug, mix in the yeast, olive oil and sugar and a tablespoon of flour.
  • Set aside for 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then, pour in the yeast mixture, garlic powder and oregano.
  • Knead into a dough for 5 minutes until it's elastic and no longer sticks to your hand - use more flour if necessary.
  • Shape the dough into a ball.
  • Slightly oil the bowl and the dough, cover with clingfilm and a clean tea towel, then leave to prove for 1-2 hours until it doubles its size.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured work surface, knead it around for a bit to push the air out, then divide it into two equal balls and roll one ball to the size of your pizza pan.
  • You can either make the second pizza at the same time, or wrap it in clingfilm and refrigerate the second dough ball to use it later on.
  • Cut the peppers into strips.
  • Spread the tomato sauce over, add the mozzarella cubes, mushrooms cut into slices, peppers and olives.
  • Sprinkle some oregano and cheddar cheese on top, then one pizza is ready to go in the oven.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve hot!
