Toppings

Preparation

Dough Preparation

1. Activate Yeast

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

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3. Combine Mixtures

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until combined.

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

Assemble the Pizza

6. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

7. Prepare Pizza Pan

Grease a deep dish pizza pan (about 14 inches) with olive oil.

8. Shape Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared pizza pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.

9. Add Filling

Layer the mozzarella cheese on the bottom, followed by the cooked sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, and black olives. Pour the pizza sauce evenly over the filling and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

10. Bake the Pizza

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Finishing Touches

11. Garnish

Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese before slicing.

12. Serve

Cut into slices and serve hot.
