• In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Use instant yeast; if opting for dry active yeast, activate it with lukewarm water and sugar separately before adding to the mixture.
• Mix the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a rough dough forms. Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly greased surface with olive oil.
• Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes, using olive oil to prevent sticking. You can use the technique of slapping and folding the dough or simply push and combine it with your palms. Kneading helps introduce air and develop the gluten structure.
• Place the kneaded dough ball in a bowl and cover the bowl, either with a damp kitchen towel to keep the dough's surface moist or use an airtight container.
• Let the dough rise for approximately 5-6 hours or until doubled in volume. You can keep it longer so to develop flavors, but you might have to keep it in the refrigerator for that.
• Lightly grease a baking tin with a mixture of butter and olive oil. Transfer the risen dough into the prepared tin, gently pressing it out to the edges using fingertips. Stretch the dough until it resists, aiming to cover the entire tin.
• Cover the dough in the tin with a kitchen towel and let it rest for an additional 30 minutes. During this time, the dough will undergo a secondary rise.
• After the second rise, gently press the dough again using fingertips, ensuring it evenly reaches all corners of the baking tin.

Making the Sicilian Pizza

• Begin by applying a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Cover the baking tin with aluminum foil to shield the dough during the initial baking process. Place the sauce-covered dough and bake for 200°C 15 minutes. This initial baking step allows the dough to cook through without overcooking the cheese.
  
• Now it's time to customize your pizza with your favorite toppings: After the initial par-baking, add pizza sauce and a generous layer of mozzarella cheese over the partially baked dough. This creates a flavorful base for your toppings. You can add vegetables, meats, or any other toppings of your choice to customize your pizza according to your preferences.
• Return the pizza to the oven, uncovered, and bake at 200°C for another 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the top turns golden brown and the cheese begins to brown lightly. Once baked to perfection, remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into portions and serving it hot.
