Pyro Pizza

Dough Preparation Prepare the dough by combining the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Dough Rising Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients while mixing. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Sauce Preparation In a small saucepan, heat the crushed tomatoes over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Oven Preheating Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Crust Preparation Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin round crust.

Toppings Assembly Place the crusts on baking sheets or pizza stones. Spread the sauce evenly over the crusts, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, chopped red onion, sliced black olives, and sliced jalapenos.

Pizza Baking Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Cooling and Serving Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
