Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.
Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Pizza Assembly
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Prepare Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Add Sauce
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
Add Cheese and Toppings
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer pepperoni slices on top. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese over the entire pizza.
Bake Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Slice and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice into pieces, and serve hot.
