Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 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 frothy.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the frothy 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. Form it into a ball.

  4. 4

    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.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 14-inch circle or your desired shape.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, olives, and Italian seasoning.

  4. 8

    Bake the Pizza

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

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
