Dough Preparation

1. Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3. Combine Ingredients

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

4. Knead the Dough

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

5. Let Dough Rise

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Assemble and Bake

6. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

7. Shape the Dough

Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness.

8. Add Sauce and Toppings

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, and oregano.

9. Bake

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

10. Garnish and Serve

Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
