Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Simmer Sauce

    Cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. 8

    Shape Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into your desired pizza shape, about ½ inch thick.

  3. 9

    Add Sauce

    Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 10

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by pepperoni, bell peppers, and black olives.

  5. 11

    Bake Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
