Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until combined.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the kneaded 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.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 6

    Prepare the Pizza Base

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, followed by pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, and oregano.

  4. 8

    Bake the Pizza

    Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.

  5. 9

    Cool and Slice

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve hot.
