Dough Preparation

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

Let the Dough Rise
Place the kneaded 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 the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.

Add Sauce and Toppings
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni slices and Italian seasoning. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
