Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

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

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

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

Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 7

    Prepare Toppings

    While the dough is rising, prepare your toppings by slicing the bell peppers, onions, and gathering the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and basil leaves.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 8

    Shape the Dough

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a large circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 9

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Add pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions on top.

  3. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  4. 11

    Garnish

    Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

  5. 12

    Serve

    Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
