Instructions
- 01In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- 02Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and a big pinch of salt, then stir in flour gradually to form a soft dough.
- 03Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 04Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- 05While the dough rises, combine diced tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir well.
- 06Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a baking stone, now is its time to shine.
- 07Punch down the dough and stretch it onto a well-oiled baking sheet to about 1/4 inch thick.
- 08Scatter the tomato-garlic mixture evenly over the dough, pressing lightly.
- 09Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top.
- 10Bake for 14 to 17 minutes until the edges are golden and the topping is bubbling.
