- For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
- For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
- Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)

Tips:
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful ingredients to elevate the taste of your pizza. Quality cheese, succulent pepperoni, and a robust sauce can make all the difference.
- Make Your Own Dough: Although store-bought dough is convenient, homemade dough offers a superior taste and texture. It's a simple process that yields delicious results.
- Let the Dough Rise Properly: Proper rising allows the dough to develop flavor and become easier to work with. Follow the recommended rising time in the recipe.
- Use a Pizza Stone or Baking Steel: These tools help distribute heat evenly, resulting in a crispy crust. If you don't have one, use a baking sheet turned upside down.
- Don't Overload the Pizza: Too many toppings can weigh down the dough and make it soggy. Use toppings sparingly to ensure a perfectly balanced pizza.
- Bake at a High Temperature: A high oven temperature (around 500°F) is crucial for achieving a crispy crust and melted cheese. Keep an eye on the pizza to prevent burning.
- Let the Pizza Cool Slightly Before Slicing: This allows the cheese to set and prevents the toppings from sliding off. A few minutes of patience will yield cleaner, more attractive slices.
