Method

Pizza Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In another bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

  4. 4

    Shape the Pizza

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into 2 equal portions and shape each into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

  5. 5

    Add the Toppings

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over each pizza base. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, followed by Parmesan cheese and pepperoni slices. Add fresh basil and red pepper flakes to taste.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  7. 7

    Serve

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