Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.
Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let Dough Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
Pizza Assembly
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Shape Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.
Add Sauce
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese and Toppings
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer the pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage (crumbled), and prosciutto on top.
Bake Pizza
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
