Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Salt-free tomato sauce
• 20 pieces Low sodium pepperoni slices
• 2 cups Part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let sit for about 5 minutes, until foamy.

Step 2

Add the flour and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to a 14-inch circle.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel lined with parchment paper or a large baking sheet.

Step 8

Spread the salt-free tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 9

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 10

Top with low sodium pepperoni slices.

Step 11

Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Step 12

Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the pizza stone using the parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 13

Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
