A pizza inspired by classic American flavors.

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

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Mix Ingredients

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

Knead Dough

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

Let Dough Rise

Preheat Oven

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet.

Prepare Pizza Base

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Evenly distribute pepperoni slices, crumbled bacon, diced green bell pepper, sliced red onion, and black olives over the cheese.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes over the toppings.

Season the Pizza

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
