Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 30 slices Pepperoni slices
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 packet of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1.5 cups of warm water (about 110°F). Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.

Step 7

On a floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll out one of the dough balls into a thin 14-inch diameter circle.

Step 8

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cornmeal onto a pizza peel. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the peel.

Step 9

Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.

Step 10

Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by 15 slices of pepperoni.

Step 11

Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the top of the pizza.

Step 12

Slide the pizza from the peel onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 13

Repeat steps 7-12 with the remaining dough and ingredients to make the second pizza.

Step 14

Allow the pizza to cool for 3-4 minutes before cutting it into slices and serving.
