Time 50m

Yield 2 pizzas (6 slices each).

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
SAUCE:
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
TOPPINGS:
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 package (3 ounces) sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, sugar, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 10 minutes., Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out each portion into a 10-in. circle. Transfer to two greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, onion, garlic, salt and pepper; spread over crust. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano. Arrange pepperoni over top; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

The pizza turned out great! I made a few minor adjustments to the recipe, but overall it was a success. The crust was crispy and the toppings were flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

Not a fan of this recipe. The crust was too dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The crust was too thick and the sauce was too watery. I won't be making this again.
