Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon rapid rise yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- Olive oil
For the pizza
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6-8 ounces sliced mini pepperoni
- 16 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
Instructions
- To make the dough, place the flour, salt, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- Add warm water and mix until a ball forms and the dough pulls away from the edge of the bowl. Continue mixing for another 30-60 seconds. Roll the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, 60-90 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Brush a 9x13 metal pan with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan.
- Layer 2/3 of the pepperoni over the dough. Then layer the cubed cheese over the pepperoni, especially around the perimeter up to the edge of the pan. Dollop the sauce over the pizza.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until pizza is bubbly and a crispy cheese crust has formed around the edge. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then loosen with a metal spatula and slide onto a cutting board. Slice into squares and serve.
