Directions

Step 1

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 .

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.)

Step 4

Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.

Step 5

For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce pepperoni and cheese.

Step 6

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.
