Ingredients

To make the crust, you'll need:

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

For the toppings, you'll need:

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (or a non-dairy cheese alternative for vegetarians)
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 egg (omit for a vegetarian option)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-6 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

  2. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a thin circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza pan.

  5. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce.

  6. Add the onions, green bell pepper, black olives, and pepperoni on top of the cheese. If using an egg, crack it into the center of the pizza.

  7. Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

The thin crust is crispy and satisfying, while the toppings are savory and flavorful. The pepperoni adds a spicy kick, while the onions, bell peppers, and black olives add a burst of flavor to every bite. 

This pizza is a delicious combination of flavors and textures.
