Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  4. Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot until it doubles in size.
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  7. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese and layer on the pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

For a crispier crust, bake on a preheated pizza stone. Experiment with toppings based on personal preferences.
