Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Mix with a wooden spoon until combined, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Simmer Sauce

    Add canned tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 7

    Blend Sauce (optional)

    For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend until desired consistency is reached.

Topping Assembly

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

  2. 9

    Shape Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch round shape.

  3. 10

    Add Sauce

    Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 11

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni, sliced green bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms.

  5. 12

    Bake Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 13

    Garnish and Serve

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