Homemade Sicilian Pizza

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing 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.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased baking sheet, pushing it to the edges to form a thick crust.

Spread crushed tomatoes over the dough and sprinkle with oregano and salt. Evenly distribute the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve.
