    – 500g strong bread flour
    – 1 teaspoon salt
    – 7g fast-action yeast
    – 325ml warm water
    – 2 tablespoons olive oil

    – *For the Pizza Sauce:*
    – 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
    – 2 cloves garlic, minced
    – 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    – 1 teaspoon dried basil
    – Salt and pepper to taste

    – *For Toppings (Customize to Your Liking):*
    – Mozzarella cheese
    – Cherry tomatoes, sliced
    – Bell peppers, thinly sliced
    – Red onion, thinly sliced
    – Mushrooms, thinly sliced
    – Olives, pitted and sliced
    – Fresh basil leaves

    **Instructions:**

    1. **Prepare the Pizza Dough:**
    – Combine bread flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast on one side and salt on the other (avoid direct contact of salt with yeast).
    – Gradually pour warm water and olive oil, mixing until a rough dough forms.
    – Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    2. **Prepare the Pizza Sauce:**
    – Combine chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, adjusting seasoning to taste.

    3. **Preheat the Oven:**
    – Preheat to 240°C (220°C for fan ovens), or 475°F.

    4. **Shape the Dough:**
    – Punch down risen dough to release air bubbles. Shape into a round pizza base on a floured surface. Place on a floured pizza stone or tray.

    5. **Assemble the Pizza:**
    – Spread tomato sauce evenly, leaving a small border. Add mozzarella cheese and chosen toppings.

    6. **Bake the Pizza:**
    – Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

    7. **Add Fresh Basil (Optional):**
    – After baking, sprinkle fresh basil leaves for added flavor and aroma.

    8. **Slice and Serve:**
    – Allow to cool slightly, then slice into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
