There’s nothing like a homemade pizza, and this pepperoni pizza pie is the perfect recipe for any occasion. Made with a delicious combination of pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and a simple homemade dough, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone.

For the dough, you’ll need:

1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package (¼ ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
⅔ cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 tablespoons olive oil

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; mix until well blended. Stir in enough additional flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine:

1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon each salt, onion powder and pepper

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 12-in. pizza pan with cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a ⅛-in.-thick circle; transfer to prepared pan. Trim even with edge of pan. Build up edge ½ in. higher than rim of pan. Prick several times with a fork.
