Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F) and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the dough is rising, prepare your tomato sauce. You can use store-bought sauce or make your own by simmering crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, and herbs.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    Slice the bell pepper, olives, and prepare the pepperoni slices. Set aside.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

  2. 8

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out on a floured surface to a 10-inch circle.

  3. 9

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce over the surface, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and add pepperoni, bell pepper, and olives. Finally, sprinkle oregano on top.

  4. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

  5. 11

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve hot.
