Classic Pepperoni Pizza

There’s a reason pepperoni pizza is a timeless classic. The combination of a chewy crust, tangy tomato sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, and savory, slightly spicy pepperoni is simply unbeatable. This recipe guides you through making your own pizza dough from scratch, which is a game-changer for flavor and texture. While it takes a little time for the dough to rise, the process is simple and the result is far superior to any store-bought crust. This is a perfect recipe for a fun Friday night dinner, a party, or a weekend project with the family. Get creative with other toppings, or stick with the classic for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
