Prepare the Dough:

• In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Sauce:

• In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, sugar, and salt.
• Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Roll Out the Dough:

• Divide the dough into 2 portions for smaller pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza.
• Roll out the dough on parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness for that classic thin crust.

Assemble the Pizza:

• Spread a thin layer of sauce over the crust.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly, then add your chosen toppings.
• Top with Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Bake the Pizza:

• Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet using the parchment paper.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy:

• Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy the Totino’s-inspired flavors!
