Method
Preparing the Dough
- 1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, dried oregano, and dried basil.
- 3
Combine Dough Ingredients
Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the dry ingredients along with olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.
- 4
Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5
Let Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Assembling the Pizza
- 6
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- 7
Prepare Pizza Base
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 12-inch circle.
- 8
Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread 0.5 cup of pizza sauce over each dough circle, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle each with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 9
Add Toppings
Distribute the pepperoni slices, bell peppers, red onion, and black olives evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste.
- 10
Bake Pizza
Transfer the assembled pizzas to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- 11
Slice and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
