How to Make Pepperoni Pan Pizza

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  3. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Gradually add enough remaining flour (about 1/2 cup) to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  9. Divide the dough in half.
  10. Grease two 15x10x1 inch baking pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  11. Press each portion of dough into a prepared pan, pricking the surface generously with a fork.
  12. Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
  13. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over each crust.
  14. Top with 1 1/2 cups pepperoni slices and 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  15. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  16. Let cool slightly before cutting into 9 squares per pizza.
  17. Enjoy your delicious homemade pepperoni pan pizzas!
