If you're feeding a large crowd or looking for a homemade pizza recipe with minimal effort, this option is perfect! The dough rises on a greased baking sheet, so there's no need to transfer it to a bowl. And to ensure a light and airy pizza, avoid applying pressure to the dough when stretching it: simply slide your hands underneath and gently pull with your fingertips. For a crispy crust, sprinkle the dough with cheese first, then add the sauce.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

DoughIn a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over warm water. Let stand until lightly foamy, 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the bread and all-purpose flours, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, dust with flour and knead, adding flour as needed, until the dough is very smooth and elastic but still slightly sticky, 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a 27.5 x 42.5 cm (10 x 17 in) baking sheet greased with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1.5 hours.
Prepare pizza sauceIn a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, sugar, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper; add more salt and sugar to taste, if needed. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups.
Pizza: Preheat oven to 230°C, turn on convection.

Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven. Gently stretch and press the dough to cover the pan as much as possible. Let rest for 30 minutes, then gently press and stretch the dough again, if necessary, to cover the pan. Top with pizza sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan, grated mozzarella, and torn mozzarella.
Place the baking sheet on the hot stone and bake the pizza until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board.
