Preparation time: 1 hour

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

¼ ounce of dry yeast

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup of tomato puree

1 minced garlic clove

1 cup of lukewarm water

1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon of sugar

1 tablespoon of olive oil

2 tablespoons of tomato paste

3 cups of bread flour

4 ounces of fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions:

For Pizza Dough:

1. Mix the sugar, yeast and water in a bowl made of plastic or glass, whichever you prefer. It is important that the water temperature is less than 100°F for good results.
2. Begin to stir the mixture until the yeast dissolves completely then leave it at the side for about fifteen minutes. Allowing the mixture to rest for a while allows the yeast to “bloom.”
3. As soon as the fifteen minutes are up, add the salt and the stir in two cups of flour, with one coming before the putting in the salt and the one after the salt has been added.
4. Sprinkle some flour on the kneading board from the cup that has been left over, and then place the mixture on it. Begin to knead the dough while adding flour until it becomes soft, and then roll it into the shape of ball.
5. Pour the olive oil in a bowl and ensure that it is spread evenly, then place the dough in the bowl so as to coat it completely with oil. Using a towel that is damp, cover the bowl for about forty minutes to allow the dough to rise.
6. When the dough has risen, punch it down and knead it for at least two minutes then spread it on the pan. It is advisable to spray the pan with vegetable oil so that the crust does not stick on it while baking.

For Toppings:

1. In a bowl, mix the basil, pureed tomatoes, minced garlic and tomato paste then spread it on the pizza dough that you had already prepared beforehand.
2. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese that has been finely sliced on top of the mixture and allow the pizza to bake for about fifteen to twenty minutes at 500°F.
3. When ready, serve the cheesy pizza when still hot by cutting it into pieces, which is about eight people.

Finally, on days when you want to impress your friends with a cheesy pizza but have no time to prepare one, you can place an order for a similar pizza and still enjoy your favorite pizza
