Instructions

Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1 1/2 hours until doubled.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each into an 8-inch circle.
Spread 2–3 tablespoons tomato sauce over half of each circle, leaving a border.
Spoon cheese mixture over sauce.
Fold dough into a half-moon shape. Press and crimp edges to seal.
Transfer to baking sheet, brush tops with olive oil, and cut a small slit for steam.
Bake 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
Cool 5 minutes before serving.
