Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, combine Warm Water, Sugar, and Active Dry Yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add All-Purpose Flour, Salt, and Olive Oil to the yeast mixture. Knead for 5-7 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the Sauce by combining Crushed Tomatoes, Dried Oregano, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Black Pepper in a saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
Punch down the dough and roll it out to your desired thickness and shape.
Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet.
Spread the Sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle with Mozzarella Cheese and top with Pepperoni.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
