1
Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add olive oil and salt. Gradually stir in flour until a dough forms.
2
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3
Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
4
Shape the Pizza
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to fit a pizza stone or baking sheet. Place on the prepared surface.
5
Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and then arrange pepperoni slices.
6
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
7
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve hot.
