In a large bowl, combine yeast and warm water. Whisk until combined then allow to sit for 2 minutes.

Add in the salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and sugar. Mix and then add in the flour.

Use a spatula to combine the ingredients until no visible flour is left and the dough is sticky.

Transfer the dough to a coated bowl with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel and allow to rise until doubled (about 1 hour).

Once the dough has doubled, knead it on a well-floured surface until a smooth ball forms, then let it rest under a tea towel for 5-10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and place a pizza stone inside to preheat.

Using light pinching motions, work out the dough into a pizza shape (about 10-12 inches across).

Remove the pizza stone from the oven and place your dough on it. Spoon about ½ cup of pizza sauce on the dough and spread it evenly.

Arrange the sliced mozzarella on top of the pizza.

Return the pizza stone and pizza to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottom is golden.

Remove pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt. Slice and serve immediately.
