Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dough Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let Dough Rise
Place the 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
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into your desired pizza shape and thickness.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Place the shaped dough on a pizza stone or baking tray. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the base, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Add Pepperoni
Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice and serve hot.
