1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F/43°C), sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.
3
Form the Dough
Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with olive oil. Stir until dough forms.
4
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5
Let it Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.
7
Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it back to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.
8
Add Sauce and Cheese
Transfer the shaped dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
9
Add Pepperoni
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
10
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
11
Cool and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
