Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Topping
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
Assemble the Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a circle to fit your skillet.
  3. Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.
  4. Place the dough in the skillet and add pizza sauce, spreading evenly.
  5. Top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and bell pepper slices.
Bake the Pizza
  1. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
