Recipe from Naples

Mix the flour and salt. Dissolve the yeast in a small cup with a little of the warm water and the sugar and mix well. Add the remaining water and yeast to the flour and knead. Finally, knead in the olive oil. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, then punch it down. Then let it rise for another 10 minutes. Season the tomato puree with salt and pizza seasoning and make a pizza sauce. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Be sure to use round pizza pans with holes. Roll out the pizza dough on the pans into a round shape, 1 to 2 mm thick at most, leaving a 5 mm to 1 cm thick edge around the outer diameter. Spread the tomato sauce just before baking. Then sprinkle with pizza cheese. Then top with as desired. Finally, sprinkle with dried oregano or pizza seasoning. Make sure to follow the topping order. Preheat oven to 230°C. Bake the pizza for between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the oven.
