Classic recipe for pepperoni pizza in the oven

Very tasty and quick pizza made from a minimum of ingredients: salami, mozzarella cheese and tomato paste. You can enjoy this dish not only in a cafe, because the thin crispy dough is very easy to prepare, even a novice cook can handle it.

1. 
   We start cooking by preparing the dough. To do this, we need to combine sifted flour, salt, granulated sugar and instant yeast in a deep plate. Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly.
2. 
   Add warm water.
3. 
   Stir the mixture a little and add the required amount of olive oil.
4. 
   Use your hands to knead the dough into a soft, pliable dough and form into a ball. Cover with cling film and put in a warm place for an hour.
5. 
   After 50-60 minutes, the dough increased several times, the yeast began to work.
6. 
   Prepare the sauce. We cut the tomatoes at the base and pour boiling water over them for 6-7 minutes; due to the heat treatment, the skin of the tomatoes peels off easily, which is exactly what we need.
7. 
   Remove the softened peel and puree the vegetables in a blender until smooth.
8. 
   In a thick-bottomed saucepan, heat the olive oil and pour in the tomato pulp; for flavor, add dried herbs - oregano and basil, pressed garlic and a spoonful of tomato paste.
9. 
   Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 8-10 minutes (until the excess liquid has evaporated) and before removing from the stove, add salt and pepper to your taste.
10. 
    While we were working on tomatoes, the dough was ripe. We split it into a thin round layer and place it on a baking sheet, previously covered with a sheet of parchment paper for baking.
11. 
    Generously coat the base with cooled tomato sauce, leaving only the sides “clean”.
12. 
    Spread the grated mozzarella in an even layer on the dough.
13. 
    We cut the sausage into thin slices and arrange it symmetrically along the entire diameter of the workpiece. Place in an oven preheated to 200 and bake for about 15-20 minutes, depending on power.
14. 
    Cut the finished pizza into pieces of equal size and enjoy. Bon appetit!
