In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
Gradually add warm water and mix until a sticky dough begins to form.
Add melted butter and olive oil. Gradually stir in the remaining flour until the dough is soft and not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, basil, and thyme.
Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
Punch down the dough and transfer to a lightly oiled 12-inch cast-iron skillet or deep-dish pizza pan.
Press the dough evenly into the pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides to form a crust.
Sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of the crust.
Layer with pepperoni slices, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the toppings.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
