Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 packet instant yeast approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for greasing
- 0.75 cup warm water about 110°F
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni optional
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano for garnish
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Stir in olive oil and warm water until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch the dough down and roll it out onto a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, and then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Add pepperoni slices, if using.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with dried oregano and basil. Slice and serve hot.
