Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mixing Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Kneading Dough

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

  4. 4

    Letting 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.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Chop the bell pepper and onion into small pieces. Cook the ground beef and Italian sausage in a skillet until browned, then drain any excess fat.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Pizza

    Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce over the surface, layer with mozzarella cheese, and add pepperoni, cooked ground beef, Italian sausage, chopped bell pepper, onion, and black olives.

  3. 7

    Seasoning

    Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the top of the pizza for added flavor.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  2. 9

    Cooling and Slicing

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into pieces.
