Steps

1. 1

   Cook the blended mixture over low heat until it thickens, about 10–12 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the chopped fresh basil leaves to the sauce and mix well.

4. 4

   Prepare the dough by combining the instant yeast, sugar, and warm water. Mix well and let the mixture rest; the exact resting time is not legible in the source.

7. 7

   Knead the dough until smooth.

8. 8

   Cover the dough with film and let it proof in a warm place for 30–40 minutes.

9. 9

   Grease the baking vessel with cooking oil. Spread the proofed dough evenly in it, using the help of your fingers as shown.

    Assemble the pizza by adding the prepared pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and beef pepperoni as required.
