Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices Pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough starts to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a triangle or rectangular slice shape roughly the size of an individual pizza slice.
Place the sliced dough shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each slice.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced dough slices.
Add your desired toppings such as pepperoni slices, chopped vegetables, and a pinch of oregano on each slice. If desired, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot, and enjoy your personalized pizza by the slice!
