Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 30 slices Beef pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- optional Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour with 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 cup of warm water (about 110°F) to the dry mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Crimp the edges to form a crust.
Spread 0.5 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder over the sauce.
Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Evenly distribute the 30 slices of beef pepperoni over the cheese.
Sprinkle 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Optionally, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an added kick before serving.
