Dough Preparation
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. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
3. Combine Ingredients
Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Let Dough Rise
Place the kneaded 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 Pizza
8. Roll Out Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
9. Add Sauce and Cheese
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top.
10. Add Toppings
Arrange pepperoni slices, sliced bell peppers, and mushrooms evenly over the cheese. Add fresh basil leaves as desired.
11. Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle olive oil over the assembled pizza for extra flavor.
