Instructions

1. Activate Yeast

   In a small bowl combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

   Time: PT5M

2. Mix Dough

   Add flour, salt, olive oil, and the yeast mixture to the stand mixer bowl. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes, then increase to medium and knead for 8 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.

   Time: PT10M

3. First Rise

   Shape the dough into a ball, coat lightly with olive oil, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

   Time: PT1H

4. Prepare Tomato Sauce

   While the dough rises, combine drained San Marzano tomatoes, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves in a bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, then transfer to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: Medium heat

5. Pre‑bake Crust

   Preheat the oven to 500°F. Lightly dust the large baking tray with semolina, stretch the risen dough onto the tray to a length of about 3 feet, and bake for 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 500°F

6. Assemble Pizza

   Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread an even layer of tomato sauce, sprinkle shredded mozzarella, and arrange the giant pepperoni slices on top.

   Time: PT5M

7. Final Bake

   Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 500°F
