Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

By Addie

I make my own pizza crust with my bread machine - you can also make it by hand or with the dough hook on a stand mixer. I think it's much tastier than delivery pizza - the crust is light and crisp and a little sweet.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Preparation

Step 1

The dough recipe makes two pizza crusts. I usually bake the crusts without toppings first - for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees. (brushed with olive oil)

Then, I top them with whatever I'm in the mood for and bake until everything is melty and the crust is golden brown.

The husband and I were in the mood for traditional pepperoni this weekend!
