Making the Dough

Combine flour, water, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, elastic dough. Let it rest until it doubles in size.

Preparing the Sauce

Blend tomatoes, herbs, and spices together to make a smooth sauce. Adjust seasoning according to taste.

Assembling the Pizza

Preheat your oven to a high temperature. Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top. Brush the edges of the dough with a little olive oil for a golden finish.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the oven and the thickness of your pizza.
