Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 7

    Shape Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce

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

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then layer on the pepperoni, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and olives.

  5. 10

    Bake Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
