Pepperoni Pizza Slice Recipe

Prepare the Dough

1. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of yeast, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 2. Gradually add 1 cup of warm water while mixing until a dough forms. 3. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, then place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.

Make the Sauce

1. In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. 2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. 3. Stir in 1 can (15 oz) of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of sugar. 4. Allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes, then remove from heat.

Assemble the Pizza

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). 2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pizza pan. 3. Transfer the dough to the pan and spread a layer of the prepared tomato sauce over the base. 4. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. 5. Top with 20-30 slices of pepperoni.

Bake the Pizza

1. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. 2. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
