Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Let it rise in a greased bowl, covered, for about an hour.
  2. Assemble the Pizza: Preheat the oven. Press the dough into a deep-dish pan. Layer with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, olives, marinara sauce, and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Bake: Bake the pizza pie until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 25-30 minutes. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings to suit your preferences, such as adding vegetables or different types of meats.
  • Make sure to let the pizza rest for a few minutes before cutting to allow the cheese to set.
