Ingredients 

For the Dough

- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F or 45°C)

- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 tablespoons  oil

- 2 teaspoons sugar

- 1 teaspoon salt


For the Sauce

- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

- 2 teaspoons dried oregano

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


For the Toppings

- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

-shredded chicken ( cooked)

- Your favorite toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, etc.)


 Instructions

 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

 In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

 In a medium bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt and black pepper.


Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

 Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

 Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza pan or a parchment-lined baking sheet.

 Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded chicken over the sauce, and add your favorite toppings.

 If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone. Otherwise, place the pizza pan or baking sheet in the oven.


 Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.


 Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing
