Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Pizza

    Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough to fit your pizza pan. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the cup and char pepperoni.

  2. 4

    Bake the Pizza

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

  3. 5

    Serve

    Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
