Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

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

Pizza Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch the dough into a large pizza shape (about 14 inches in diameter).

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Add Topping

    Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the cheese.

  5. 9

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
