Ingredients

Pizza dough:

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

Pizza sauce:

• 1 1/2 cups San Marzano tomatoes
• 4 basil leaves (chopped)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 garlic clove (grated)

Toppings:

• Mozzarella cheese
• Jalapeños
• Pepperoni
• Hot honey

Instructions

To make dough:

1. Mix warm water, yeast, sugar and olive oil in a measuring glass. Allow to sit for 5 minutes for the yeast to bloom.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
3. When the yeast is bloomed, add the yeast mixture to the flour and stir until it becomes a shaggy dough.
4. Transfer dough to a work surface, and knead for about 10 minutes or until it becomes a smooth dough.
5. Add dough to a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

To make pizza sauce:

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and set aside.

To bake the pizzas:

1. Add your pizza stone to the oven or barbecue and preheat to 450°F.
2. When the pizza dough is ready, split into 2 and roll out to desired size with flour to keep from sticking. When you're rolling, try to keep a thicker, outer crust when rolling.
3. Add sauce, cheese and any other toppings and add flour or semolina to the your pizza peel and transfer your pizza into the oven or barbecue.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the pizza is golden brown and bubbly.
