Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    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.

  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, and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until the dough begins to come together.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let It Rise

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

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    Distribute the pepperoni slices and crumbled Italian sausage evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes over the toppings.

  5. 10

    Bake the Pizza

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

  6. 11

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into pieces and serve.
