HOMEMADE BREAD FLOUR PEPPERONI PIZZA

An incredibly delicious pepperoni pizza made with an Italian-style homemade crust and layers of flavorful toppings for a chewy and irresistible pizza.

INGREDIENTS

Pizza Dough (yields enough for 3 9-inch pizzas)

1 and 1/4 cup warm water

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

2 and 1/4 teaspoon yeast

3 and 1/2 cup bread flour

Homemade or store-bought pizza sauce

Topping

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic , finely minced

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese

20 slices pepperoni

2 tablespoon fresh oregano

Pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

In a mixing bowl, take warm water and sprinkle in the yeast. Stir to combine and allow to rise.

Next add olive oil, salt, and flour. Using the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer or a hand mixer, mix on low speed until combined.

Now transfer the dough into a bowl with a teaspoon of olive oil and let it rest. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap in a warm place and let it rest for at least 30-60 minutes. The dough will double in size.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

After rising, punch down pizza dough and divide into three equal portions. Pat/roll and stretch dough on pizza peel to fit the pan, while creating a rim along edge of dough. Using a fork, pierce dough many times over surface.

For the topping, in a small bowl stir combine together 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 clove garlic and brush evenly over top and edges of pizza, then evenly spread about 2/3 cup of the pizza sauce over pizza (leaving rim uncoated).

Top evenly with cheeses (again leaving rim uncoated) and pepperoni slices. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes until crust is golden.

Remove from oven, sprinkle top with oregano and pepper flakes. Cut into slices and serve.
