Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • ½ teaspoon instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup warm water (80ml), about 110°F (43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 28g)
  • ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 28g) – optional
  • 6 slices pepperoni or salami, halved
  • 1 tablespoon sliced black olives – optional
  • A pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Red pepper flakes – optional
  • Fresh basil leaves or arugula – optional for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese – optional

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon instant yeast, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
  2. Pour in ⅓ cup (80ml) of warm water (about 110°F/43°C) and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir until the dough starts to come together; it will be slightly sticky but manageable.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if too sticky, but not too much.
  4. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle or rectangle about 8-9 inches (20-23 cm) in diameter.
  7. Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel if using a stone. Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  8. Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded mozzarella and ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce. Arrange halved pepperoni slices on top, add olives if using, and sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh basil or arugula and grated Parmesan if desired. Let cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Roll the dough very thin for a crispy crust. Preheat baking surface for best results. Avoid overloading with sauce or toppings to prevent sogginess. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours. Reheat leftovers in toaster oven or broiler for crispiness; avoid microwave.
