Pizza Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add in the olive oil and salt, then gradually mix in the flour 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 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.
Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Add Toppings
Spread a layer of Off The Vine pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and layer with sliced pepperoni. Add additional cheese if desired.
Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil chiffonade, slice, and serve.
