Amazing Sicilian style pizza with pepperoni and a spicy tomato sauce! Check it out here!

I give this recipe a 5 for tasty and a 4 for easy. You may need to tent the pizza with foil so the bottom gets crispy without the top getting too dark.

Dough:

• 500g bread flour (17.5 ounces; about 3 1/2 cups)

• 14g kosher salt (0.5 ounce; about 1 tablespoon); for table salt use same weight or half as much by volume

• 6g instant or rapid-rise yeast (0.25 ounce; about 1 1/2 teaspoons)

• 60g extra-virgin olive oil (2.1 ounces), divided

• 325g room-temperature water (11.5 ounces; about 1 cup plus 7 tablespoons)

  Sauce:

• 20g extra-virgin olive oil (0.70 ounce; about 2 tablespoons)

• 9 medium cloves garlic (45g), roughly chopped

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, or more to taste

• One 28-ounce (800g) can whole peeled tomatoes

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• Kosher salt

  Toppings:

• 1 pound (450g) sliced deli-style mozzarella cheese

• 12 ounces (325g) natural-casing pepperoni, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices

• 4 ounces (115g) ground Pecorino Romano cheese
