- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, 1/2 For The Crust And 1/2 For The Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1- 1/2 cup Canned Crushed Tomatoes
- 4 leaves Fresh Basil, Shredded

- 1.
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- 2.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, garlic powder and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine.
- Beat well until a stiff dough has formed.
- Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 3.
- While dough is rising, in a pan over medium heat, heat oil.
- Cook garlic until lightly colored and softened.
- Add tomatoes, remaining oregano, shredded basil, and salt and pepper and simmer sauce until dough is ready to go.
- 4.
- Turn dough out onto a baking sheet or pizza stone that has been covered in corn meal.
- A good idea is to cover your hands in flour first so that the dough doesnt stick too much to your fingers (something I found out after attempting).
- Spread the dough out to fit your pizza stone or sheet.
- 5.
- Ladle sauce over the pizza, and place mozzarella, prosciutto, and basil as toppings in any way you like.
- 6.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- When done, let sit for a few before slicing and serving (so you dont burn your mouth off!)
