Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 package Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
• 0.5 cups Pepperoni slices
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and press it evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Brush the surface of the dough with a little olive oil, then sprinkle it with dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder.

Step 9

Bake the dough for 10 minutes to give it a head start before adding the toppings.

Step 10

Remove the partially baked bread from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over the top.

Step 11

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.

Step 12

Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into squares or strips.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
