NOTE: Dough takes 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours. If using Pillsbury, this recipe is pretty quick.
- Dough (see below) OR 2 rolls of Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Dough
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tsp olive oil
- Sauce (see below)
- 1/2 of a 10.75 can tomato puree
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp grated garlic
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp seeded and minced jalapeno
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella
- 2 oz pepperoni (about 32 slices)
Dissolve yeast in water. Stir in honey and let stand until the liquid begins to bubble, 3-5 minutes; stir in 1 Tbsp oil.
Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. With the machine running, pour in the yeast mixture and process until dough forms a ball around the blade.
Remove dough from processor (it might be sticky) and knead on a lightly floured surface, adding more flour as necessary, until smooth and elastic, 1-2 minutes.
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until dough stretches gently when pulled, 30-60 minutes.
Punch dough down and divide into four pieces; shape into balls (pull down sides, tuck under, and pinch dough closed on bottom). Roll each ball under your palm until smooth, about 1 minute.
Arrange dough balls on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap coated with nonstick spray, and let rise 30-60 minutes more.
Press each dough ball out on a lightly floured surface. Turn dough, pressing on its center, then roll each into a 7- to 8-inch circle. Transfer two rolled dough rounds to a pizza peel generously dusted with cornmeal; brush each with 1 tsp oil, then add toppings.
PIZZA:
Preheat oven to 450 F with a baking stone on bottom rack.
Combine the sauce ingredients to make the sauce.
