Cooking Time: 15 minutesPreperation Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Preparation

Begin by prepping your ingredients. Dice the onion and green bell pepper. Slice the Italian sausage and pepperoni if they're not already pre-sliced. Grate the mozzarella cheese.

Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, water, and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until you achieve a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and allow it to rise for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.

Sauce

For the sauce, blend tomatoes, garlic, and your preferred mix of herbs (basil, oregano) until smooth. Simmer on low heat for around 15 to 20 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Add the grated mozzarella cheese, followed by the Italian sausage, pepperoni, diced onion, and green bell pepper. Season the top with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
