Make the dough: Pour warm water into a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the cold water and salt. Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until incorporated.
- 2
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.
- 3
Divide the dough in half and shape each into a tight ball. Coat with olive oil and refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 16 hours, using a container large enough for the dough to rise.
- 4
Make the pizzas: Take the dough out of the refrigerator one hour before using.
- 5
Preheat the oven with a pizza stone on the lowest rack to 550 degrees F (288 degrees C). Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour.
- 6
Prepare the first pizza: Lightly dust one dough ball with flour and gradually stretch it until it is about 14 inches in diameter, or about the size of the pizza stone. Place it on the floured peel.
- 7
Lay 1/2 of the mozzarella on the crust, then sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon oregano and 1/8 teaspoon pepper over the top. Randomly spoon 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes over the pizza, leaving some bare spots, then drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top.
- 8
Give the peel a quick back-and-forth jerk to ensure the dough releases easily. Set the tip of the peel at the back of the preheated pizza stone and pull the peel away so the pizza stays on the stone.
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust starts to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
- 10
Slide the pizza onto the peel and remove it from the oven; then slide it off the peel onto a work surface. Scatter 1/2 of the basil leaves randomly over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve.

Repeat Steps 5 through 9 to make the second pizza.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
