Equipment

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 ½ - 3 cups flour

Pizza Sauce

  • 8 oz. tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp basil
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Pizza Toppings

  • 1 lb. ground beef (lean, 90/10)
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup chopped pepperoni
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

Make the Pizza Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast and 1 tbsp sugar together. Gently combine then set aside and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Add in honey, salt, and melted butter, to yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
  • Gradually add flour 1 cup at a time until a soft dough forms and is slightly sticky. (To make sure I have the right consistency, I touch the dough with my finger. If the dough sticks to my finger, I add in a little more flour. The dough shouldn't stick to your finger when you touch it.)
  • Cover dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let rise until double in size. (About 30 minutes).

Prepare the Pizza Toppings

  • While dough is resting, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper and kosher salt together in a frying pan.
  • Cook until ground beef is completely cooked through. Set aside.
  • Chop pepperoni into small pieces and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Once dough has risen, generously flour a surface on the counter and scape the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface.
  • Knead dough a few times, then roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
  • Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and transfer the dough to the sheet pan, pressing dough to the sides of the pan.
  • Spoon the pizza sauce over top of dough and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the sauce.
  • Sprinkle ground beef and pepperoni over top of the cheese.
  • Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the pizza is golden brown. (I like to rotate the pizza after 10-15 minutes so that the pizza bakes evenly.)
  • When the pizza is golden brown around all edges, remove from oven.
  • Serve and enjoy!
