Ingredients
Dough
Sauce
Toppings
Dough Preparation
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. 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. 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. 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
5. Make Sauce
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
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.
7. Blend Sauce (optional)
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend until desired consistency is reached.
Topping Assembly
8. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
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.
10. Add Sauce
Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
11. Add Toppings
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni, sliced green bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms.
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.
13. Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
