Method

7 steps Oven 475°F 80 min prep · 15 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Mix Water and Instant Yeast in a large bowl. Add All-Purpose Flour, Salt and Olive Oil; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured counter until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Return it to the bowl and cover.
Step 3. Let the dough rise in a warm spot until roughly doubled, about 1 hour.
Step 4. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 475°F (250°C) with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two sheet pans with parchment. Mix Tomato Sauce and Oregano in a bowl.

Cook

Step 5. Divide the dough in half and stretch each piece into a thin round on a prepared pan. Spread with the sauce, leaving a border, then scatter Mozzarella and Pepperoni over both pizzas.
Step 6. Bake at 475°F (250°C), switching the pans between racks halfway through, until the crusts are browned underneath and the cheese bubbles, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Rest the pizzas until the cheese settles, about 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

Swap it

Use vegetarian pepperoni in place of the pepperoni for a meat-free pizza.

Good to know

If the dough springs back while stretching, cover it and let it relax for 10 minutes before trying again.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftover pizza within 2 hours and reheat it in a covered skillet until hot.
