Preparing the Dough

Start by mixing the pizza dough ingredients together, kneading until you achieve a smooth, elastic consistency. Let it rest to rise for an hour or until it doubles in size. Roll it out to your desired thickness on a floured surface.

Assembling the Pizza

Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese evenly, followed by pepperoni slices and any other toppings of your choice, such as grated cheddar, herbs, garlic, onion, and optional vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. For an extra richness, drizzle olive oil over the top.

Baking

Preheat your oven to a high temperature (ideally above 475°F or 245°C) and bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
