Homemade Pepperoni Pizza Recipe | Make Your Own Pizza from Scratch
Today, I'm going to show you how to make a delicious pepperoni pizza that rivals any takeout joint. You'll need some basic ingredients for the crust, sauce, and toppings.
For the crust, you'll need:
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 3/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees)
- 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
To make the dough, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy. Then, add salt, olive oil, and flour. Mix it in a stand mixer until a dough forms. Let the machine knead it for a minute, then shape it into a ball and let it rise for an hour.
For the sauce, you'll need:
- 6 ounces of tomato paste
- 3/4 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of basil
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of freshly grated parmesan cheese
Mix all the sauce ingredients together and heat it over medium heat until bubbly. Stir in the parmesan cheese and let it cool.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Dust a pizza pan with cornmeal and spread the dough onto it. Top with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. Bake for 7 minutes until golden brown. Cut into slices and enjoy!
Note: You can customize the toppings according to your preference.
