Method 12 steps
Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup warm water.
Combine 3 cups of flour, olive oil, one tsp of salt, and the yeast-water mixture. Knead for 15 minutes, adding more flour until dough is no longer very sticky.
Coat dough with a little oil (about 1 tsp) and place it into a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 45 minutes until the dough is twice its original size.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C for at least 30 minutes).
Gently deflate dough in order to eliminate air bubbles.
Cut dough into 2 pieces (you can freeze dough to bake later for up to a month).
Roll out dough to form a rounded pizza crust.
Add pizza sauce (½ can per pizza), and sprinkle onion, red pepper, salt, oregano and black pepper.
