Non Vegetarian

Active dry yeast

Granulated sugar

Warm water,  110 degrees,  divided

Olive oil,  plus more for brushing

Salt

White vinegar

Bread flour

Tomato sauce

Tomato paste

Extra virgin olive oil

Honey

Chopped fresh oregano

Chopped fresh basil

Dried thyme

Clove garlic,  finely minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper,  to taste

Olive oil

Shredded mozzarella cheese

Finely shredded parmesan cheese

Slices pepperoni

Fresh oregano

Red pepper flakes,  for serving

step 1

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine yeast, 2 tsp sugar and 1/2 cup warm water and whisk until yeast has dissolved. Allow to rest 5 minutes. Add in remaining 1 cup warm water, olive oil, salt and vinegar. Fit mixer with whisk attachment, set on low speed and slowly add in 1 3/4 cups of the flour and mix until combined.

step 2

Switch to a dough hook and slowly add in remaining 1 3/4 cups flour, then knead mixture on medium-low speed about 5-7 minutes, adding in up to an additional 1/2 cup flour as needed, until dough is smooth and elastic (dough should be slightly sticky but should not stick to a clean fingertip). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

step 3

step 4

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Preferably let rest 30 minutes (while dough is rising) to allow flavors to meld.

step 5

step 6

Place a pizza stone in oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. While oven preheats assemble pizza. Punch down pizza dough (divide into two equal 16 oz portions, freeze one in a resealable bag for a later use or make 2 pizzas right away). Place a sheet of parchment paper over a pizza peel, then lightly dust parchment paper with flour. Pat/roll and stretch dough on pizza peel to a 13-inch round, while creating a rim along edge of dough.

step 7

Using a fork (without piercing all the way through) pierce dough many times over surface. In a small bowl stir together 1 tbsp olive oil with 1 clove garlic and brush evenly over top and edges of pizza, then evenly spread about 2/3 cup of the pizza sauce over pizza (leaving rim uncoated).

step 8

Top evenly with cheeses (again leaving rim uncoated) and pepperoni slices (if using turkey pepperoni, i recommend adding halfway through baking). Carefully slide pizza (on parchment paper) to preheated pizza stone in oven and bake 12-15 minutes until crust is golden. Remove from oven, sprinkle top with oregano and optional red pepper flakes. Cut into slices and serve.
