Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings
  • 1 cup pizza sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Assemble the Pizza
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside.
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel dusted with flour.
  3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
  4. Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
  1. Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano, and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve hot and enjoy!
