Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pizza Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour. 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. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet. Transfer to the pan.
Add Toppings
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and layer with pepperoni slices. Add dried oregano and black pepper.
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
