Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the warm water. Add the sugar and yeast, give it a light stir, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it gets foamy — this means your yeast is alive and ready.
Now add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until it comes together into a soft dough. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
While the dough is rising, let’s make the sauce.
Peel and finely chop the tomatoes and garlic. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then toss in the tomatoes.
Cook until they soften and start to break down. Add oregano, paprika, and salt. Let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes rich and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Step 3: Cook the Meat Topping
In a skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Season lightly with salt and pepper if you like, but don’t overdo it — the sauce adds plenty of flavor.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 30 cm (12-inch) circle. If you like a thicker crust, keep it a bit smaller.
Step 5: Assemble the Pizza
Place the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the cooled tomato sauce evenly over the surface. Then sprinkle the cooked ground meat on top. Add any extras you like: cheese, onions, bell peppers — make it your own!
Step 6: Bake
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Bake the pizza for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the topping is sizzling.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and enjoy the incredible aroma and flavor. The crust is crisp yet tender, the meat is juicy, and the sauce ties everything together perfectly.
