Preparation

Dough Preparation

1. Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

3. Combine Ingredients

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

4. Knead Dough

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

5. Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a lightly 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

6. Preheat Oven

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

7. Prepare Pizza Base

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

8. Add Sauce

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough.

9. Add Cheese and Pepperoni

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then arrange the pepperoni slices on top.

10. Bake Pizza

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

11. Slice and Serve

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