Ultimate Oven-Baked Cheese and Sauce Dinner Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups semolina flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mixed toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of semolina flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Create a well in the center and add 1 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Mix gradually with a fork until it begins to form a dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) to allow it to preheat while the dough rests.

3. Shape the Dough
- After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness, ideally about 12 inches in diameter for even cooking.

4. Assemble the Pizza
- Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add your choice of 1 cup mixed toppings evenly over the cheese.

5. Bake
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

6. Serve
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy your culinary creation with family or friends.
