Ingredients: 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast; 1 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0); 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce; 1 small onion, chopped; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 2 teaspoons dried oregano; 1 package (3 ounces) sliced pepperoni; 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Servings: persons

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 package (3 ounces) sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1
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).
2
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.
3
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 425u00b0 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
4
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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
