Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 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 or baking sheet inside.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the base.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of oregano.
Bake the Pizza
- Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes
