Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

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

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

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

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.

  2. 7

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch the dough into your desired pizza shape (round or rectangular).

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by sliced pepperoni. Add fresh basil leaves and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

  4. 9

    Bake the Pizza

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

  5. 10

    Cool and Serve

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