Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (1.5 cups) and sugar (1 tbsp). Sprinkle active dry yeast (2.25 tsp) over the top and 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 (4 cups) and salt (1 tbsp). Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with olive oil (2 tbsp). Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Topping and Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 7

    Prepare Pizza Base

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness and shape, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread tomato sauce (1 cup) evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups) on top.

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    Evenly distribute pepperoni slices (1 cup), bell peppers (1 cup), mushrooms (1 cup), and olives (0.5 cup) over the cheese. Sprinkle with dried oregano (1 tsp).

  5. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 11

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves (0.5 cup). Let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve.
