Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup warm water, (110°F-115°F)
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
⅓ cup olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, (minced)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups mozzarella cheese, (divided)
½ cup pizza sauce
¼ cup pepperoni slices

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine yeast, water, and sugar. Stir and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  • Pour half the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining oil mixture aside.
  • Add flour to the oil and yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add dough to a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Let it rest for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • When ready, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Pour the reserved oil mixture into the bottom of a 9x11-inch baking dish. Use a pastry brush to coat the dish.
  • Add the risen dough to the baking dish and work the dough to the edges. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
  • Bake the bread for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven to add toppings.
  • Top the baked bread with the pizza sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and the remaining half cup of cheese.
  • Bake for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly and golden brown. Serve hot.
