Dough Preparation

Activate 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 frothy.

Mix Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.

Knead Dough
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Pizza Assembly

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.

Roll Out Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a 15-inch circle.

Add Sauce
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Cheese and Toppings
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Then, layer on the pepperoni, cooked sausage, sliced meatballs, diced ham, and crumbled bacon.

Bake Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Slice and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into wedges and serve hot.
