Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Pizza Dough
If using store-bought dough, skip to step 2. If making from scratch, combine flour, water, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth, then let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- 2
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a perfect pizza crust.
- 3
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 10-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 4
Add Sauce
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5
Add Cheese and Toppings
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add pepperoni slices and diced bell peppers on top. Drizzle olive oil over the toppings.
- 6
Season
Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the entire pizza for added flavor.
- 7
Bake the Pizza
Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- 8
Slice and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into wedges and serve hot.
