Ingredients

Preparation

Dough Preparation

1. Activate Yeast

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

2. Make Dough

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

3. Knead Dough

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

4. Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Pizza Assembly

5. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

6. Shape Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch it out into your desired pizza shape, about 12-14 inches in diameter.

7. Add Sauce and Toppings

Transfer the shaped dough to a piece of parchment paper. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the surface, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese. Add pepperoni, bell peppers, onion, and olives. Finally, sprinkle with oregano and fresh basil.

8. Bake Pizza

Carefully slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

9. Serve

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