Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

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

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

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

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 7

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle shape, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni slices, dried oregano, and dried basil. Finally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

  4. 9

    Bake the Pizza Bread

    Transfer the assembled pizza bread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into slices and serve warm.
