I've spent years trying to come up with the perfect pizza crust and sauce, and they're paired up in this recipe. I fix this crispy, savory pizza for my family often, it really satisfies my husband and three sons, ages 15, 18 and 20.

Pepperoni Pan Pizza Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 9 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

2-3/4 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
1 tablespoon canola oil
SAUCE:
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano, marjoram and thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
5 cups (20 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste, oil and seasonings. Divide dough in half; press each portion into a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Prick dough generously with a fork.
Bake at 425° for 12-16 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
Spread sauce over each crust; top with pepperoni and cheeses. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into squares. Yield: 2 pizzas (9 slices each).

I've tried dozens and dozens of pizza dough recipes and this one is the BEST! It's perfect and so easy to make! I haven't tried the sauce, yet, but I will soon.

I haven't tried the sauce yet, but I've made the dough dozens of times to great reviews. It makes a good calzone dough, also.
