Activate the yeast: Mix the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast becomes active.
Make the dough: Add the flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well and knead until you have a smooth, soft, and slightly stretchy dough.
Let it rise: Cover the dough and place it in a warm area. Let it rise until it doubles in size.
Shape the dough: Punch down the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a round pizza shape and transfer it to a greased pizza pan or baking tray.
Prepare the base: Gently prick the dough with a fork to prevent large air bubbles from forming during baking.
Add the sauce: Mix the pizza sauce ingredients together and spread the sauce generously over the pizza base.
Add the cheese: Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add the toppings: Arrange the mushrooms, sweet corn, black olives, red and green bell peppers, onions, and your choice of protein over the cheese.
Make it extra cheesy: Add more mozzarella and a few cheese cubes on top for a delicious, stretchy cheese layer.
Rest the pizza: Cover the pizza lightly and let it rest for about 10 minutes while you preheat the oven.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot. 😋🍕
