Pizza Dough
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add the olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

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

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat.

Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and then roll it out on a floured surface to form a 16-inch circle. Transfer to a pizza peel or a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Add Toppings
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by pepperoni slices, bell peppers, mushrooms, oregano, and basil.

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