Preparation
Blend all the mozzarella ingredients in a blender, scraping down the sides

Add yeast to warm water, add sugar, stir briefly, and leave in a warm place to activate
In a large bowl, add all the remaining crust ingredients
Add olive oil and the yeast mixture, then adjust consistency by adding more flour if too runny or more water if too doughy
Roll out the dough
Keeping an inch away from the dough's edge, line the circle with the cheese
Fold the inch left around the border over the cheese, tucking or forking it into the crust
Place marinara sauce and your choice of toppings along with the remaining cheese on top and bake at 350F for 20 minutes
