Pizza Dough and Toppings
Method
Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and gradually add flour while mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place 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.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza stone or a baking sheet.
Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese.
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Slice and Serve
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice into wedges, and serve hot.
