A delicious homemade pizza pie with a thin, crispy crust, flavorful tomato sauce, and cheesy goodness. This Classic Grandma Pizza Pie is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for any pizza night!

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 packet active dry yeast. 1 cup warm water. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 can 14 oz crushed tomatoes. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon dried basil. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Instructions: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a dough. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size. Preheat your oven to 475F 245C and grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with olive oil. Press the dough into the pan, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom. In a small bowl, mix crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Spread this sauce over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Classic Grandma Pizza Pie!
