Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup sliced onions
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, adding more flour as needed. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pizza pan.
6. Transfer the rolled dough to a greased pizza pan. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
7. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer the pepperoni, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and onions on top.
8. Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
