Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese
- 15 slices pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, instant yeast and sugar. Mix well to combine. Drizzle over the olive oil and just give a quick stir.
- Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in about 1 1/2 cups of the water. Using a fork, start pulling the flour into the water until you have incorporated all the flour. If it seems too dry, add remaining water. The dough should be really sticky at this point.
- Take the dough out of the bowl and place on a clean and lightly floured surface. Lightly flour your hands and start kneading the dough. Flip and knead the dough until it's soft, elastic and springs back when touched. This will take between 5 – 8 minutes.
- Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour or up to two hours until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees f/232 c and place the rack at the lowest setting in the oven.
- Punch the dough down and form it into a ball. Place the dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper dusted with flour. Start stretching out the dough with your hands and roughly roll it into a large rectangle. Roll it up in the parchment paper and transfer it to the sheet pan. Unroll the pizza dough and discard the parchment paper. Push the dough to the sides of the pan and make sure it goes up the sides of the rim.
- Evenly spread out the sauce on the dough and sprinkle over the oregano. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Cook in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes until the crust is crisp and the top is bubbly.
- Transfer the pizza to a large cutting board and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into 15 equal squares.
