Pizza Dough

Method

Pizza Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

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

Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook Steak

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ribeye steak and season with garlic powder and black pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 7

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

Pizza Assembly and Baking

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 9

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 10

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Layer the cooked steak and vegetable mixture on top, then sprinkle with provolone and mozzarella cheese.

  4. 11

    Bake Pizza

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

  5. 12
