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).
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.
