Make the crust: Place the water in a bowl and dissolve the yeast, stirring gently with a spoon until it's fully dissolved
Add 1 cup of flour, olive oil, and salt
Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon
Mix in more 1 cup of flour and mix well
The dough should come away from the sides of the bowl and be smooth and elastic (if needed, add a little more flour)
Powder the remaining flour on a surface and place the dough on top of it
Knead, incorporating the flour gradually until the dough is no longer sticky
Shape into a ball
Grease a 2-liter capacity bowl with oil and transfer the dough to it
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes in a protected area until it has doubled in volume
Knead the dough again, then place on a surface and knead for 1 minute
Roll out and divide into two 35cm diameter trays
Let rise in the tray for 10-20 minutes before baking
Bake in a hot oven (250°C), preheated, for 10 minutes
Let cool, wrap in plastic wrap, and store in the freezer
Prepare the sauce: In a pan with olive oil, sauté the tomato and onion, covered by the pan, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
Add the basil and season to taste
Let cool and freeze
Thaw when ready to serve
Spread the sauce over the dough and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella
Bake in a hot oven (200°C), preheated, for 15-20 minutes
Serve immediately
