Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- 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
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel dusted with flour.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
- 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
- Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano, and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on the pizza stone without a pan.
