Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Pizza Sauce

  • 1 can tomato sauce 15 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust
  • Optional toppings: mushrooms bell peppers, olives, sausage

Instructions
 

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  • In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  • Add flour, salt, and olive oil.
  • Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3: Let the Dough Rise

  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
  • Cover and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
  • Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly.

Step 5: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the pizza pan or baking sheet inside while preheating for a crispier bottom.

Step 6: Shape the Dough

  • Roll or stretch the dough into a large pizza circle.
  • Transfer carefully to parchment paper.

Step 7: Add Sauce and Toppings

  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and pepperoni.
  • Add any additional toppings you like.

Step 8: Bake the Pizza

  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust turns golden brown.

Step 9: Cool Slightly and Slice

  • Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot water, when activating yeast.
  • Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Let the dough rise fully for soft fluffy crust.
  • Preheating the baking sheet helps create crispier pizza bottom.
  • Do not overload the pizza with toppings.
  • A little sugar in the sauce balances tomato acidity.
  • Brush the crust with olive oil before baking for golden edges.
  • Bake at high heat for the best texture.
  • Let the pizza rest briefly before slicing.
  • Use parchment paper for easier transfer.
