✨ Why order out when you can make your fav comfort food, pizza, at home? Not only is it more affordable, but you control the ingredients—meaning fresher, healthier, and made just the way you love it. Fire up the oven, grab those fresh toppings, and treat yourself to a homemade pizza night that saves money and supports your health!

Preparation
1. Make the Dough
🍕In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water (110°F), sugar, and dry active yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
🍕Add the flour and salt gradually, mixing until a dough begins to form.
🍕Drizzle in the 4 Tbsp of olive oil and knead on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
🍕Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Toppings
🍅Dice the fresh tomatoes and set aside.
🧀Slice or tear the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces.
🔪Mince the garlic.
🌿Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.
👨🏼‍🍳In a small bowl, combine the garlic with ¼ cup of olive oil to create a garlic oil and heat gently to combine flavors.

3. Assemble the Pizza
🍕Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).
🍕Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into your desired pizza shape (about 12–14 inches).
🍕Place dough on a lightly oiled pizza pan or baking stone.
🍕Brush the entire crust with the garlic oil mixture.
🍕Evenly spread the diced tomatoes over the crust.
🍕Distribute the mozzarella pieces on top.
🍕Add the fresh basil leaves.

4. Bake
👩‍🍳Place the pizza in the preheated oven.
👨‍🍳Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 3–5 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
