Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

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

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    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.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 6

    Prepare the Pizza Base

    Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 8

    Layer the Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then layer on the pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, sliced meatballs, diced Canadian bacon, and crumbled bacon.

  5. 9

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 10

    Cool and Serve

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