Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make Dough

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

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 5

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 6

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

  4. 7

    Add Toppings

    Distribute the Ezzo pepperoni evenly on top. Crush the coriander and fennel seeds together, then sprinkle them over the pizza.

  5. 8

    Bake

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
