Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone (if using) inside to heat up.

  2. 7

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or baking sheet.

  3. 8

    Spread Sauce

    Spread the spicy marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough.

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    Layer the cooked Italian sausage, shredded grilled chicken, mozzarella, and provolone cheese on top of the sauce.

  5. 10

    Add Spice

    Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the toppings to add extra heat.

  6. 11

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 12

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
