Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) or the highest temperature your oven will allow. Place a pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pizza dough, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of yeast. Mix everything well, then knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes.

- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the pizza, then add any desired toppings.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the pizza.
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
