| Ingredients | quantity |
|---|---|
| All purpose flour/ Maida | 2 1/2 cups |
| Sugar | 2 tsp |

Method:
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms. Knead the dough for at least 10-15 minutes to make it more soft.
- Take a clean bowl and cover it in a layer of olive oil. Put the dough in a bowl and add a light layer of oil on the dough as well to prevent it from drying out.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour or until it doubles the size.
- Once risen take the dough from the bowl and spread the dough over a 12 inch pizza pan and poke it with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Spread a layer of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese. Then add pepperoni, mushroom and black olives. Finally spread cheese on top and sprinkle some Italian seasoning.
- You can top it on with your favorite toppings.
- Preheat oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
