Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups warm water
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt (divided)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal
  • 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 12 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 4 oz pepperoni (sliced)
  • 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey, then let the mixture stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the sea salt, and 1 cup of the flour until combined.
  3. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 450°F and lightly grease a 12 x 17-inch baking sheet, then sprinkle it with cornmeal.
  7. In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, dried basil, dried marjoram, granulated sugar, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to make the pizza sauce.
  8. Punch down the risen dough and press it into a rectangle large enough to fit the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, press it gently to the edges, and form a slight rim around the border.
  10. Parbake the crust for 4 minutes, then remove it from the oven and gently press down any large air bubbles.
  11. Spread the sauce evenly over the crust, then top with the mozzarella, pepperoni, and cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake the pizza for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  13. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
