In The Kitchen with Kanta: Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

Prep and Cook time: 45 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 568g flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon fast rise yeast
• 235ml water
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 58.75ml tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• 510g pepperoni slices
• 340g of mozzarella cheese
• 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• (You can also use cheddar cheese)

Directions

In large bowl, mix first 4 ingredients; flour, salt, sugar and fast rise yeast. Mix the water and oil and add to the flour mixture. Combine using your hands and turn the mixture onto a floured surface – knead it for 2 minutes. Now place it into a greased bowl. Cover and allow it to rise for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes passes, punch it down and place it on a greased 12inch pizza pan. Pat it down to flatten it into a circle. Now prepare the topping; mix tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper and spread it over the crust. Spread some pepperoni slices on top of the sauce; and then sprinkle with 1/2 of the mozzarella and 1/2 of the parmesan.

Put the rest of the pepperoni on, and top it with another layer of cheese.

Bake at 180 – 200 degrees C for 20 minutes or until light brown. Garnish with your choice of topping

Serving

Serve hot with a beverage of your choice.
