Dough

Dilute yeast into hot water, along with sugar; leave to rest until doubled
in volume.

Into a large bowl, make a well in the center of the flour; add yeast mixture
into the center and salt. Knead dough with your hands, pouring in a little
oil at a time, until all of the oil has been absorbed. If dough is too
stiff, pour in lukewarm water and knead for 2 minutes more.

Shape dough into a ball. Roll dough ball into a little flour; transfer
dough into a bowl.

Cover bowl with a damp cloth and set aside, away from drafts, for
approximately 2 hours, until doubled in volume.

Pizza Preheat oven to 425°F [220°C].

Roll dough into a circle.

Lightly flour a baking sheet; transfer dough onto baking sheet. Pinch dough
all around to get a small rim.

Using a fork, crush chopped tomatoes and then mix in minced garlic; spread
all over dough. Sprinkle with oregano and basil.

Garnish with drained anchovy fillets and sliced ripe olives; salt, pepper
and slowly pour oil all over.

Bake into preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until dough starts to brown.
