Pepperoni has been my hubby's all time favorite pizza and i need no better reason to make this at home. I guess this does not need any further introduction and here it is.

Ingredients:

For the pizza base:( Large Pizza )

Pizza Toppings:

1. Pepperoni - to your hearts desire
2. Marinara Sauce - 1 cup
3. Mixed blend cheese - 1/2 cup
4. Mozzarella cheese - to your hearts desire
5. Pepper Powder

Method:

1. In one cup warm water add in the yeast and sugar and mix well. Keep it on the side for 15 minutes till you find bubbles/foam formed on the top of the mixture.

2. In a mixing bowl, add in flour, salt and oil. Add in the yeast mixture and knead the flour into a smooth dough.Take another bowl, grease the bowl with olive oil and place the pizza dough into the bowl so that it does not stick.

3. Cover the bowl with a  cling film and keep it aside to raise for about 2 hours.

4. Remove the cling film and press the dough in the bowl and knead it to a soft dough.

5. In a pizza tray place the dough in the center and start pressing onto the side till you reach the edge of the tray.

6.Make holes/poke on the pizza base with the help of fork or tooth pick.
