Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit until frothy, about 5–10 minutes.
  2. Stir in flour, salt, and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 2 hours.
  4. Once risen, punch down the dough gently and transfer to a greased rectangular pan, stretching to cover.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) while the dough rests for an additional 30 minutes.
Baking Instructions
  1. Spread cheese over the dough, followed by pizza sauce and your favorite vegetables.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until edges are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  3. Remove and let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
