Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 8 ounces Cooked ham, sliced
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Mix ingredients together until a rough dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 6

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled out dough to the pizza pan. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the pizza base.

Step 8

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce evenly. Then, add the sliced ham on top of the cheese.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper over the ham.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 11

Remove from oven and let the pizza cool slightly before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade ham and cheese pizza.
